Toy Drive

The Lewis Simmons Foundation partnered with other local organizations in the Aurora, IL and Batavia, IL to give toys to families 🤍! The partnerships we forged and the smiles we got to see on children’s faces made this one of the best holiday gifts to both give and receive! We’d like to thank our sponsor The Sheena Baker Group for their generous donations!
