The idea came from Bill’s wife, Diane. So in 1947, Diane handcrafted a Raggedy Ann doll and asked Bill to deliver the Raggedy Ann to an organization, which would pass it on to a needy child at Christmas. Bill determined that no agency existed, Diane mentioned to Bill to start one. He did! and in1947 the project was so successful that the Marines adopted Toys for Tots program in 1948 and now in 2012 it has grown into a National Campaign. That year,<\/p>\n
