(entertainmentearth.com) has donated $100,000 worth of toys to Toys for Tots for its annual holiday toy drive, bringing holiday cheer to less fortunate children in communities nationwide. Entertainment Earth knows that every collector starts as a tot. "I'm a fan first, and the toys I got as a kid are what inspired me to become a collector and start this company. I'm thrilled that we are able to share our love of toys by donating to kids in need," said Jason Labowitz, president and co-founder of Entertainment Earth. "It's really because of our clients that we've grown and are able to donate these toys.
