Richard Gardner Jr. Memorial Toy Drive

Please visit us at http://www.rgtoydrive.org

Christmas is a time for bringing a smile to a child’s face. Unfortunately, there are some people who spend so little time on this earth to experience such pleasures.

In memory of Richard Gardner Jr., a New York City Police Officer who was accidentally killed in 1995, we are reaching out to you, for children who need us at Christmas time. Richard was a twenty four year old officer who was dedicated to his family and his career. If there was anyone who didn’t want to see a child go without, it was Richard.

In making this toy drive a success for yet another year, we need your help. If you would like to make a donation please contact steven@bonici.us

In advance, the family of Richard Gardner Jr., would like to thank you, not only for your kindness and generosity, but your help in keeping his memory alive for yet another year.

The Richard Gardner Jr. Memorial Toy Drive has been running since 1995. After Officer Gardner passed away, his family began collecting toys in his name for sick and underprivileged children throughout Staten Island and Manhattan. Over the years, we’ve donated 1,000’s toys and we will continue, to keep these children smiling. Our toys have been distributed to hospitals, housing facilities, underprivileged day care centers, underprivileged families, children of the men and women in Iraq and families of disasters.

We also remember Police Officers, Matthew Dziergowski and Monica Jesselli of the 123rd Precinct, and Gerard Carter of South Beach Housing.
