Pfizer Helps United Way Of Rockland Bring Joy To Children

From Pfizer Pearl River: Colleagues at the Pfizer Pearl River site helped bring joy to the holidays of children in the area with a drive to collect over 200 new toys, including action figures, arts and crafts kits, books, building games, dolls, educational toys, scrapbooks, sports games, toy trucks and gift cards. The holiday gifts were donated to United Way of Rockland as part of its Hope for the Holiday program.

“The Hope for Holiday program gives help and hope for the holidays to families struggling to make ends meet,” said United Way of Rockland President and Chief Executive Officer Dana Treacy. “It is another way we make a difference in the community.

“We are grateful for the Pfizer Pearl River site’s participation in the Hope for Holiday program and continuing support of our broader vision of a community where individuals and families have the skills to achieve a quality education, economic security and a healthy lifestyle,” stated Treacy.

“Our Pearl River colleagues are happy to give back to the community through activities like the toy drive,” said Pam Soni of Pfizer, who serves on the United Way of Rockland board of directors. “We support the United Way’s mission to increase the value and impact of community support and resources through collaborations that advance the common good.”

Based in Nyack, United Way of Rockland brings together a local network of nonprofit, corporate and government partners to implement initiatives that go beyond what single organizations could accomplish alone.
