Presents From Partners’
Toy Challenge
The results are in!
It was a close race, with five
unions competing for bragging
rights in the annual Presents
from Partners Toy Challenge,
sponsored by Labor’s Commu-
nity Service Agency. The compe-
tition pitted union locals to see
which one could bring in the
most 32 to 45 gallon bags full of
toys . Without further ado... First
place went to IBEW Local 48!
Coming in close behind were
Southwest Washington Central
Labor Council; Oregon Federa-
tion of Nurses and Healthcare
Professionals Local 5017-Ameri-
can Federation of Teachers;
United Association Local 290
and their Sisters In Solidarity;
and Iron Workers Local 29.
“All unions participating have
given so much time and re-
sources to make sure all our
union families are able to pro-
vide toys this holiday season,”
said LCSA Executive Director
Eryn Byram. “Thank you all for
your generosity and giving. You
define solidarity.”
Of course, the real winners were
all the kids who got gifts at the
Presents From Partners holiday
party held Dec. 15 in Portland.
