Toy Drive in September

Local Decorative Solutions Company Hosts Toy Drive in September for Children's Leukemia Foundation Patients and Families

Rochester Hills, MI – Living with a serious illness puts a significant strain on a family’s finances, time, and especially emotions. To combat some of these stresses, the MacKellar Associates, Inc. team is working with Children’s Leukemia Foundation of Michigan (CLF) by hosting a “toy drive” for those children and teens whose families are affected by leukemia, lymphoma, and related blood disorders.

Now through September 30th the MacKellar team is asking the community to bring an unwrapped, new toy or gift card to their Rochester Hills, MI location. The “box” is located inside the main entrance and will be accessible between normal business hours (8am-5pm). Your generous donation will help make a difference in the lives of children undergoing painful treatment in hospitals and clinics throughout the state.

Steve, Barb and Andrew MacKellar are not only part of the MacKellar team, but also huge supporters to Children’s Leukemia Foundation of Michigan. Below is a testimonial from CLF’s President Heidi Grix.

The MacKellar family has been providing ongoing and consistent support to Children’s Leukemia Foundation of Michigan for many, many more years that I have had the pleasure of serving this agency. The good work that they have provided through their amazing kindness will never be forgotten by the more than 4,500 families that we serve each year. Through more than ten years of dedication, Steve, Barbara, their children and friends have assisted us in helping thousands and thousands of Michigan families who are diagnosed with and fighting leukemia, lymphoma and other blood diseases, a fitting tribute to their daughter and sister Casey.”
