2019

Toys for Joys is all about community support, holiday joy, and supporting our kids. 2020 and 2021 have challenged us all in so many ways and the need for help has never been greater. Please, if you can, help us rally and continue to support our mission once again this year. We wish you a safe and healthy holiday season, and look forward to next year when we anticipate coming together once again.
On behalf of all our amazing volunteers who make Toys for Joys happen every year, we hope you are staying safe through these very challenging times. Unfortunately, we have made the choice to again cancel our “Gift Gala” with the continued threat of Coronavirus, and concentrate our efforts on fundraising. We know our mission must still be accomplished, and we had a very successful year last year raising over $80,000 for toys and gifts We have a lofty goal of raising $100,000 this year!!
As a 100% volunteer organization, we guarantee the use of these funds will be allocated to our underprivileged children, teens and families who suffer through poverty and other major challenges. In addition, the funds will be used to supply ALL 29 DCF (Dept of Children and Families) OFFICES (through Wonderfund) with gifts and toys for our foster children and teens in need this holiday season.
We started as a small house party in 2002, growing to the 501c3 organization we are today providing thousands of toys/gifts each year to underprivileged children throughout the ENTIRE state of Massachusetts. It is with the generosity of friends, family, fantastic corporations, local businesses, and individual sponsors that we have been able to make such an impact for our partners:
Finally, we truly give thanks to our wonderful team of volunteer professionals who stick with us year after year. We also thank Gay for Good and FLAG Football for their help. This is truly a case of “it takes a village”, and we thank every organization and individual who makes Toys for Joys a priority each year.
We wish you a happy and healthy holiday season, and hope you are able to celebrate your holiday safely with the ones you love.
Sincerely,
Dr. James Rifino
Mr. Harry Pihl

Today, the Toy Gala is considered a Boston holiday tradition of meeting up with family, friends and co-workers all while helping the families and children throughout Massachusetts.
