If your company is looking to give back, think of the children of City of Hope.

This year, our goal is to put smiles on hundreds of children’s faces. Make a difference this holiday season and participate in our Annual Toy Drive. Help us reach our goal by encouraging your staff to donate a gift. Once your company has reached 20 donations, PIASC will add your company logo on the events website page and promotional material as a sponsor. PIASC will provide the participating companies with a decorated box for their donations.

Participate October 1-November 26!
