Many underprivileged children will have a brighter holiday this year through Verizon Business' online gift-collection effort to provide toys for the U.S. Marine Corps' Marine Toys for Tots program. Verizon Business employees based in the United States participated in a company-sponsored Virtual Toy Drive via the Internet. They made cash contributions, which were matched dollar for dollar by the company, and they also donated toys at company locations around the country. The average cash contribution from each participant was $45; the total has already surpassed last year's total of $50,000.
