Toys for ‘Tots,’ $1K cash for troops

(Dec. 24, 2015) During its 2015 holiday party at Seacrets on 49th Street in Ocean City, the Coastal Association of Realtors (CAR) collected more than 100 toys for the Toys For Tots Foundation and raised $1,000 for Wounded Warrior Project (WWP).
This is the second year that CAR has collected donations for both organizations during its holiday party.
The more than 150 CAR members attending the Dec. 9 party were asked to bring a new toy, which will be given to a local child via Toys For Tots. Sgt. Joshua Carson of the U.S. Marine Corps Recruiting Station in Salisbury helped collect the toys.
Also during the holiday party, members raised $900 for Wounded Warrior Project. CAR contributed an additional $100 for a total donation of $1,000. Retired Army Cpl. John Rego attended the party on behalf of WWP.
Rego was a Special Operations Army Ranger in the 75th Ranger Regiment. He was seriously injured in Iraq in April 2003. With the help of WWP, Rego has fully recovered and now works for CAR affiliate member T&G Builders in Berlin and competes in triathlons.
