A Toys for Tots tradition resurrected
Submitted by Cassie Allen

Fourteen years ago seven 4-year-old boys from Growing Tree preschool celebrated their December birthdays by donating presents to Toys for Tots. They delivered them to the Moraga Fire Department, starting a trend of combining forces for their birthdays that would last years. This year, upon turning 18 the boys resurrected the tradition with a modern twist. Using social media to increase donations and driving themselves to the station this time, they arrived at the same Moraga Fire station on Dec. 11 with bags and bags and bags of toys. Recreating their original photograph, from left, are: Adam Harper, Connor Fritch, Max Rittmann, Xavier Esquer, Lleyton Allen, Joe Gonzalez and George Destino.
