Violet Orthodontics teams up with Toys for Tots

Violet Orthodontics has teamed up with US Marine's Toys for Tots program to spread smiles and some holiday cheer this season. Violet Orthodontics offices in Twinsburg and Ravenna are drop of locations for Toys for Tots.

"Giving and spreading smiles is something that we do naturally. It really feels good to do something nice for kids at this time of the year. And we hope to do this every year" said Dr. Violet Barbosa, specialist in orthodontics for children and adults. "We ask that you bring an unwrapped toy to either of our locations before December 19, 2011. The childern in need are counting on your generous support."

For the last 64 years, the Marine Toys for Tots Program has delivered a message of hope to less fortunate children through the simple act of providing a new toy. In 2010, Marines distributed 16.7 million donated toys to more than 7.2 million children who might not have otherwise experienced the magic of the holiday season.
