Family & Children’s Service of Ithaca (F&CS) presented its 18th annual FesTOYval benefit at the Country Club of Ithaca on December 6th.  The event raised more than $15,000 for children’s mental heath programming.  At FesTOYval guests bid on over 50 baskets at the live and silent auctions and enjoyed food, music, and family activities.

At the “Toy Shoppe”, families picked out toys to be donated back to Family & Children’s Service.  These toys are used in play therapy or are given to a young person who otherwise may not receive a toy for the holidays.

CFCU Community Credit Union is sponsored the event for the 10th consecutive year, the Toy Shoppe was Sponsored by Tops Market, and Purity sponsored the Kids Corner.

F&CS is the oldest existing human service agency in Tompkins County, working in the community since 1885.  The organization aims to provide affordable, professional services that support children, families, and organizations in finding solutions to the challenges of life.
