Battle Creek / Kalamazoo Toys For Tots Campaign
My name is Staff Sergeant Cameron Canen, and I am your 2025 Marine Toys for Tots Campaign Coordinator! As a community, we help children in Calhoun and Kalamazoo County receive toys for Christmas. We are committed to sustaining that support for the families in our community. The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, an IRS recognized 501(c)(3) not-for-profit public charity, is the fundraising, funding, and support organization for the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program. The mission of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November, and December each year and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community in which the campaign is conducted.
