Once again, Team National is proud to make a contribution for such a worthy cause.  Their donation of $8,000 is just one way TN reaches out and pitches in, helping provide children with the holiday spirit of gift giving, putting smiles on their faces and simply letting them enjoy being a kid. “We are thrilled to participate with the DSA in the TODAY show Toy and Gift drive,” said Angela Chrysler, Team National President and CEO. “Our mission of helping others extends beyond our independent sales field, to the lives they touch and the money we can share to help charitable organizations all over the US. Helping US communities in need is an important part of our mission and vision.”  “The TODAY Show Holiday Gift Drive is just one example each year of how direct selling serves as a force for good in our communities, across the country and throughout the world,” said Amy Robinson, DSA’s Chief Marketing Officer. “Every day, direct sellers help others achieve their goals through the products and opportunities they offer, but their involvement in charitable and philanthropic activities reinforces the positive impact direct selling has on millions of lives each year.” The TODAY Show Toy Drive is a project of the Today Show Charitable Foundation, Inc., a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization.
