Making Spirits Bright: FAU Owls Bring Holiday Joy with Toy Drive

Written By Dani MacGregor

Sarah Meyer Bertheau and the FAU Owls Chapter of STUDENTS Speak Up for Kids helped spread holiday cheer by organizing a Holiday Toy Drive, ensuring that every child attending Winterfest received a special gift.

 Through the generosity of donors and the dedication of student volunteers, the toy drive made a meaningful impact, bringing smiles to children and making the holiday season a little more magical. By distributing these gifts at Winterfest, the FAU Owls helped create a joyful and inclusive holiday experience for all attendees.

Why This Matters

The holidays are a time of giving, connection, and joy. By collecting and distributing toys, the FAU Owls ensured that every child at Winterfest felt valued and celebrated. Small gestures like this help foster a sense of belonging and holiday magic, making a lasting impact on children and families.
