There are only good ways to honor the memory of Nick, Nate, Noah and Luke Bucklin. Here’s another: Buy something cool for a kid you’ll probably never know, and know that your gift will make their holiday season better (yours, too). We’re collecting presents geared toward kids ages 12-14 in remembrance of Nick (14), Nate (14), Noah (12) and Luke (forever 40, going on about 14). Toys for Tots historically has fulfilled unmet needs for gifts for boys and girls in their early teens.

This holiday season, to help honor the Bucklin Boys, I'm hoping you'll join the Toys for Tots drive started by Nerdery alumnus Mitch Buckland. We're rallying the Twin Cities community to donate gifts for youth between the ages of 12 and 14, in honor of Nick (14), Nate (14), Noah (12) and Luke (40, going on about 14).

Historically, Toys for Tots receives ample gifts for small children – actual tots – but struggles to fulfill the unmet needs of underserved early teens. But not this year, eh?
