"Stuff the Bus", College of Engineering toy drive

Carnegie Mellon's College of Engineering students host their annual toys for tots (kids) holiday campaign with former Steeler Jerome Bettis. The student toy drive, "Stuff the Bus," is expected to raise more than $1,000 to help purchase toys for needy children. Students will collect and send toys to local Marine Corps reserve units for distribution nationwide.

"Toys for Tots" was established in 1947 by the U.S. Marine Corps to help less-fortunate children during the holiday season.
