The Southwest Florida Chapter of the Florida Public Relations Association has announced its Second Annual Merry Givemas Toy Drive, from now until Thursday, Dec. 9, to benefit the Children’s Advocacy Center of Southwest Florida.

In memory of Janet Wilson, a long-time chapter member, public relations professional and media representative in Southwest Florida, this annual toy drive provides the opportunity to carry out her legacy and spread some holiday joy by donating new, unwrapped toys and small denomination gift cards to the CAC, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides a coordinated response to child victims of abuse and neglect. Through therapeutic counseling, parenting education and additional prevention services, the organization offers a safe place for at-risk children and their families to come and be heard.

Drive donations may be dropped off at the following SWFL locations:

• Florida Gulf Coast University, Reed Hall, 10501 FGCU Blvd., S., Fort Myers, FL 33965

• Florida SouthWestern State College, Building AA, 8099 College Parkway, Fort Myers, FL 33919. The donation box is located by the stairwell near Starbucks.
