According to Ms. Connor, "This is the TODAY Show Holiday Gift Drive's 21st anniversary and we're very proud to continue our support and to report that our total contribution to date totals just over $22 million!"
"We actually came up with the idea of donating gifts that children can give to significant adults in their lives - like their moms, grandmothers and teachers," said Connor. "The local organizations distributing our products tell us they especially love the concept of teaching children to give as well as to receive. Some organizations have even set up special holiday programs for kids to wrap up presents for their moms and make holiday cards, too. It makes the kids feel very proud!"
Connor pointed out that while PartyLite is a key individual donor to the gift drive, the company is also proud to be part of the Direct Selling Association's contribution. "As a longstanding member of DSA, we're proud to join with others in our industry in supporting this excellent outreach," she said.
Asked why participating in the gift drive is important to PartyLite, Connor said, "Our sales consultants who sell PartyLite products are women and men who are usually very involved with their families. So they respond strongly to this cause, as they do to our support in the United States for the American Cancer Society and in Canada for Children's Miracle Network. PartyLite is very community-minded, and contributing to these important causes brings special meaning to our work lives and helps to make this holiday season even brighter."
