ENI Announces the First Annual Superheroes For Toys For Tots
Reported by Jay Cochran - 01:29 PM 2009.12.11
 Local comic book stores in the Washington D.C. metro area have joined Entertainment News International LLC (ENI) to form the first annual Superheroes for Toys for Tots toy drive in support of the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots program. A supporter of the Toys for Tots program for more than four years, Entertainment News International chose to increase its level of support during a year when many families may struggle to provide toys during the holidays. Joining Entertainment News International in a coordinated toy drive are Alliance Comics, Beyond Comics, E.G. Comics, and Big Planet Comics with locations in Maryland and Virginia. “Finding a present under the tree Christmas morning is an experience every child should have an opportunity to experience”, says Entertainment News International president Jay Cochran. “Superheroes bring hope. We want to be a part of putting hope in the eyes of children in our community.” If you are in the Washington DC metro area, come to one of these locations to make a donation. If desired, cool action figures and collectibles are available at each location to purchase and donate. These stores will continue to collect toys through the end of next week, 12/18/09.
