HAPPINESS OVERFLOWS DURING THE ANNUAL CHRISTMAS TOY DRIVE
by Jose Victor Pelayo
Sir Robert Baden-Powell once said, “The most worth-while thing is to try to put happiness into the lives of others.” On December 12, 2015, happiness made its way into the hearts and minds of youngsters when RealPage visited National Children's Hospital to conduct the Christmas Toy Drive.
Through the tireless efforts of the retention team, and the many groups who volunteered, this event became a success. What started years ago soon became a tradition where all RealPagers pitch in. Last 2015, teams from LS Websites, SEO, Web QA, Propertyware, LS Classifieds, Lead2Lease, LeaseStar Care, Greystar/OLL, and Content Services have worked together to amass the largest number of toys to date. Plenty of hygiene kits were also prepared through the compassionate leadership of Miss Jenny Constantino and the tireless efforts of the management. Volunteers have wrapped and distributed approximately four hundred gifts, comprised of two big toys or three small toys, as well as three hundred hygiene kits for the little monitos and monitas. Even with this small gesture, numerous exchange of smiles occurred throughout the event. Sometimes, its the little things that help these youngsters go a long way. Christmas was definitely merry and memorable this year. Until the next toy drive!
