WWE and US Marine Corps, Toys For Tots
by
Jeff Hardy, Mickie James and Cody Rhodes
More than 500 of our fans lined the streets outside Tommy K’s Vitamins in Stamford, Conn., Monday, while Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy, Cody Rhodes and Diva Mickie James made their arrival in grand fashion — riding in United States Marines vehicles completely filled with toys. But the day wasn’t just about autographs or photo-ops; it was about coming out for a great cause.
“Events like this make me proud to be a part of WWE, because they are so charitable,? said Jeff Hardy. “To create a smile on the face of a kid who’s not that fortunate is very inspirational and motivational. It’s a very warm feeling to be able to do this.?
One Superstar had an especially personal reason for lending a hand to charities that help out those who are less fortunate. Diva Mickie James stressed the importance of organizations such as Toys for Tots, remembering how charities helped her family out in a time of need.
“It’s really awesome to me that I can help give kids toys. When I was about 6 years old, our house burned down, and all of our presents were in there,? James explained as she looked at our smiling fans waiting in line. “Luckily, through organizations like churches and Toys for Tots, we were able to have a Christmas.?

Toys for Tots was a huge success, not just for the giving but too see the faces on our little men and women of tomorrow.
