Hi! Melvin here, CEO of Business Continuity Technologies, (BCT). We are officially participating in Toys for Tots!! This has been something near and dear to my heart that I’ve wanted to do for a long time now. We have finally made this dream a reality.

Think back to when you were a kid… What was the Christmas you remember the most? For me, there are a couple. One of which was the year I received a bowling ball from my Aunt. It was a Lucky Strike ball.

The other Christmas I remember was the year I got my second bike. I rode that bike around ALL. FREAKING. DAY!! I still remember the smell of the brand new wheels on it, the sound the tires made rolling on the pavement and the cold, crisp air hitting me in the face as I rode.

Toys for Tots: The basic mission of the Marine Toys for Tots Program is to collect new unwrapped toys and distribute those toys to economically disadvantaged children at Christmas.

I passionately believe every kid deserves to have positive Christmas memories. Please join us in making this happen.

We have the capacity to help people, (kids), that aren’t as fortunate as us and we would like you to be a part of this momentous occasion. BCT has 2 boxes located in our lobby, available for drop off of toys which the Marines will pick up on 12 December 2025.

This is a huge opportunity to give back to deserving children in our Las Vegas Community. Let’s make this Christmas one for Las Vegas children to remember for the rest of their lives.
