The holiday spirit was alive and well in Burlington as the Burlington Dads, a local community group, wrapped up their annual toy drive in spectacular fashion. This year, they raised an incredible $58,000 and purchased 7,000 toys, ultimately spreading joy to countless children across the city this Christmas.

On December 8th, the Burlington Dads met at Toys "R" Us, and transformed donations into a massive toy haul, filling carts with everything from cuddly stuffed animals to exciting board games. The toys are to be delivered to the Salvation Army in Burlington, ensuring they reached families who could use a little extra cheer this holiday season.

"In total, we raised $58,000 and it's going to end up purchasing about 7000 toys for the Salvation Army and for families in Burlington. It's super humbling. We're super proud that we were able to accomplish this, and this only shows how amazing the community of Burlington is. Thank you so much for all the support over the years."

— Jamie Kozub, Burlington Dads

The annual toy drive has become a cherished tradition in Burlington, showcasing the power of community spirit. With each passing year, the Burlington Dads continue to raise the bar, reminding everyone of the joy that comes from giving.

As Burlington lights up with holiday cheer, the Burlington Dads’ efforts serve as a reminder of the kindness and generosity that make the city a wonderful place to live. Their commitment to helping others is truly a gift to the entire community.
