This year's Toys for Tots Campaign has begun! Employees who take a selfie of themselves while donating a toy using hashtag #SaiasSantas will be eligible to win prizes.
Saia has again partnered with Toys for Tots as one of the organization's corporate sponsors. As in previous years, we will be making a $25,000 donation to the charity as well as conducting a toy drive at each one of our terminals and offices. The toys that are collected at our terminals and offices stay in your those local communities to be dispersed to a deserving boy or girl.
Remember that while the need is great for toys for all genders and ages, the most “critical” need is for older children, particularly girls. Additionally, toys for girls of all ages are needed more than toys for boys. Don’t forget that all toys should be new and unwrapped!
In addition to being able to donate a toy, or in lieu of, employees can make a monetary donation, online, if they choose to do so. The URL is located on the Employee Information Center, or EIC.
Like last year, we are holding our #SaiasSantas Photo Contest in conjunction with the toy drive. Employees who take a selfie of themselves while donating a toy using hashtag #SaiasSantas will be eligible to win a weekly prize! One grand prize winner will receive a bag full of “Saia Swag.”
Steps for Employees to Enter:
- Purchase a toy(s) for the Toys for Tots Toy Drive.
- Take a selfie donating the toy to the drive.
- Post the photo on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter using the corresponding hashtag, #SaiasSantas, tagging Saia in the post.
- “Like” or “Follow” Saia Careers on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram depending on where the employee posts the photo.
- The contest began Nov. 13 and ends Dec. 7.
As you know, Toys for Tots is an outreach program of the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve. Among other objectives, the purpose of the program is to help less fortunate children throughout the United States experience the joy of the holidays and unite local communities in a common cause.
Since its inception in 1947, Toys for Tots has collected and distributed 548 Million toys. As a foundational partner, Saia and its employees have donated more than 15,000 toys over the last four years in the 150-plus communities where the company operates.
We sincerely appreciate your continued support of this initiative. You prove time and again how generous and caring Saia employees truly are!
