 Jean Shafiroff donated all the new toys in the wake of the spike of shootings which have occurred in the New York-Metropolitan area. In past years, Ms. Shafiroff has also sponsored the Toy Gun Exchange. The children were very happy to turn in water pistols and replica firearms for other toys- ones that did not promote violence. 

All in attendance wore masks and practiced social distancing. All children were accompanied by an adult. Children and accompanying adults lined up and came into Brierley Park two and three at a time . The event occurred peacefully and without any disturbances.
