Fun Facts: Over 130 Walgreens stores partnered with us and collected nearly 7,000 toys and gift items including thousands of beanies, cookies, candy canes etc. helped over 1,500 kids have toys for Christmas! Local Walgreens stores had lots of creative ways to raise money for toys including collecting money at the register, signage around the store, boxes, videos shown, free photos, etc… Saturday was Walgreens Day!
