The Craig School of Business at California State University, Fresno will co-sponsor the Pelco Toys for Tots Holiday Fun Run on campus Saturday, Dec. 6.

Three runs begin at the Satellite Student Union. The first, at 8 a.m., is the 5K run, followed at 8:30 by a 2-mile noncompetitive walk/run and at 9 a.m. by a quarter-mile noncompetitive kids run.

The longer courses wind around the Fresno State farm and finish at the Satellite Student Union.

In addition to the runs, there will be a costume contest and activity booths.

Toys for Tots is a nonprofit organization that collects new, unwrapped toys during the holiday season for distribution to needy children. The program has become Pelco's flagship charity. The company matches one-for-one each toy donated by its employees.

The Fun Run helps generate funds matched by Pelco to purchase additional toys. Toy donations will be accepted.
