There was no shortage of celebrity appearances at the World Premiere of Bedtime Stories in LA on Thursday, December 18. But the film’s stars – Adam Sandler, Guy Pearce and Courteney Cox – had to share the red carpet with the Marine Toys for Tots.

This is the fourth year in which Disney has coupled with the Toys for Tots organization. Marines were stationed around large boxes of toy donations as celebrities such as Rob Schneider, Aisha Tyler, Kerri Russell, Courteney Cox, Guy Pearce and Adam Sandler graced the carpet.

As Sandler dropped a stuffed animal into the donation box, he shared his sentiments about the Marine Toys for Tots cause: “I want to make sure that the soldiers are given back, when they come back from Iraq and Afghanistan.”

While on the red carpet, Look To The Stars asked Sandler whether there were any other charities or causes close to his heart. In response, Sandler stated that he is an avid supporter of research and programs for individuals who suffer from Multiple Sclerosis. Sandler has witnessed the affects of the disease on his cousin, Jana Sandler.

In its annual preparation for the Christmas season, US charity Toys for Tots has found a powerful ally in Toys “R” Us and a vocal supporter in actress Brooke Shields.

The retailer launched its Million Toy Drive on November 3rd, aiming to raise $4 million through in-store and online donations and to collect one million toys in retail locations across the country. All money and toy donations received in Toys “R” Us and Babies “R” Us stores will help needy children in the local communities where the donations are made.

Brooke Shields helped to launch the initiative, saying, "As a mom of two small children, it breaks my heart that so many kids go without even one toy at Christmas time.

“By working with Toys ‘R’ Us and Toys for Tots, I hope to encourage parents to teach their kids about the importance of giving back to their communities, while motivating everyone who can to make a donation to this incredibly worthy cause.”

Toys “R” Us customers may donate a new, unwrapped toy at any Toys “R” Us and Babies “R” Us store across the US until Wednesday, November 22nd. To ensure the company reaches its toy drive goal, Toys “R” Us will match each donation, toy for toy, up to one million toys.

Since its inception in 1947, Toys for Tots has touched the lives of more than 160 million children nationwide by ensuring America’s neediest children have a present to unwrap on Christmas morning.
