The CSI Company and Kotobukiya USA donate toys to various Charities and Foundations to spread holiday cheer:
We believe that a strong and healthy community is ultimately the vision that we here at The CSI Company is building towards. It is with this core principle that we aim to participate with as many local community organizations and volunteering opportunities as time permits. We are truly humbled by the work of the Non-Profits and NGOs that we have had the fortune to help with through the years. On Saturday December 15th, The CSI Company in conjunction with Kotobukiya USA donated many cases of toys to the Toys For Tots Foundation; hosted by Goodyear Blimp near the Home Depot Center in Carson.
We would like to express our thanks to the organizers and we are grateful to have been able to add to the joy of many children through this holiday season.
Once again we give our warmest Thank You to the brave Service-persons who keep us save, Aryn Sieber; owner of The CSI Company felt truly honored to be able to spend some time with the noble Marines at this event and to assist with this immensely worthwhile cause.
50 cases of toys and figurines for adolescent kids (12-15 yrs.) were donated at this event.
Other stops The CSI Company made:
Monday 12/7:
Cheers for Children received 27 cases of Star Wars figurines for kids ages 12-15. Mrs. Donna Dawick from Cheers for Children said that "the gifts were perfect"; noting that kids in that age group usually get overlooked as most people (unknowingly) give toys more suitable for younger kinds.

3 boxes of toys were donated with the help of Fire Station 11 Long Beach.
Firefighter Hopper's responded; "Thank you for your generous donation to the Spark of Love toy drive. The gifts you delivered to Fire Station 11 today will be the highlight of Christmas for a family in need this holiday season. Thanks again for your selflessness generosity.", Firefighter Hopper, 11A
