The Detroit Pistons have long had a desire to have a positive impact on the youth of Metro Detroit, and since Tom Gores took ownership of the team, that impact has spread to the Flint community as well.
The Pistons took some time this week to join forces with the Marine Toys For Tots Foundation, an organization dedicated to providing toys to kids from families who cannot buy them gifts for Christmas.
The Gores family has been associated with the foundation since 2009 and has provided over 75,000 toys to more than 30,000 children, and since 2006 has helped provide over 92,000 toys to families unable to provide for their own.
