PartyLite's independent consultants have a long tradition of supporting both national and local charitable organizations, most notably the American Cancer Society and, in Canada, the Children's Miracle Network.
"This is the Troday Show Holiday Gift Drive's 21st anniversary and we're very proud to continue our support and to report that our total contribution to date totals just over $22 million,” said Connor. "We actually came up with the idea of donating gifts that children can give to significant adults in their lives – like their moms, grandmothers and teachers.

Some organizations have even set up special holiday programs for kids to wrap up presents for their moms and make holiday cards, too. It makes the kids feel very proud.”
