Stormy Lundy and Joe Matthews, co-chairs of the Delaware Valley Legacy Fund’s TOY 2009, gather with the 900-plus items the event netted, which will be distributed to children in the HIV/AIDS unit at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia this weekend. TOY, held Dec. 4, drew more than 500 people and helped raised about $21,000 for DVLF. Matthews said the event, now in its third year, has seen tremendous growth; last year’s celebration drew about 375 guests, who donated 550 toys and raised about $13,000 for DVLF. “Thank you for everyone that was involved in TOY 2009,” Matthews said. “And if you thought this year was good, just wait until next year; it’s going to be even bigger, bolder and more beautiful.” Photo: Scott Drake
