TransPerfect Achieves Record Donations for Toys for Tots in 2024 Campaign
TransPerfect's Impactful Contribution to Toys for Tots
TransPerfect, recognized as the world's leading provider of language and artificial intelligence solutions, has made headlines with its generous donation of more than $65,000 to the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. This remarkable contribution, announced on January 9, 2025, marks the largest single-year donation in the company’s 15-year history with the charity, culminating in over $400,000 worth of toys donated since its initial involvement.
The Toys for Tots initiative, organized by the U.S. Marine Corps, focuses on ensuring that underprivileged children experience happiness and joy during the Christmas season by collecting and distributing new toys. The foundation’s goal is not only to provide gifts but also to foster community unity and hope among less fortunate families, extending its support throughout the year.
In tight-knit collaboration, employees across TransPerfect’s global offices engaged in various fundraising initiatives throughout December, effectively promoting the spirit of giving and generosity. One of the driving factors behind this success was the company’s pledge to match employee donations dollar for dollar, culminating in a total of $65,830 raised for the cause.
Phil Shawe, President and Co-CEO of TransPerfect, expressed his deep appreciation for the commitment displayed by the TransPerfect team, stating, “I’m humbled by the generosity of the TransPerfect team. Countless children had brighter holidays because of their effort.” This partnership shines a light on the importance of corporate social responsibility and the impactful difference organizations can make in their communities.
The Toys for Tots program has a longstanding history since its inception in 1947, aiding over 272 million children to date. It serves as a crucial reminder of the difference that compassion and support can bring to those in need, particularly during the holiday season. Notably, the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation operates as a nonprofit entity authorized by the Department of Defense and the U.S. Marine Corps, ensuring that every toy collected is delivered to a deserving child.
