North Kingstown, Rhode Island (December 14, 2017)—Toray Plastics (America), Inc.(www.toraytpa.com), held its 15th Annual Toys for Tots and Navy Caring and Sharing Breakfast on December 8 and collected more than 300 toys for the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots program and $2,300 for the Newport Naval Station’s Caring and Sharing program. Eighty- five Toray employees and special guest Rob Ninkovich, a retired New England Patriots outside linebacker, were on hand to celebrate the spirit of the season.
