IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 25, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Continuing the legacies of Ryland and Standard Pacific, CalAtlantic Homes one of the nation's largest homebuilders, today announced its national corporate sponsorship of Marine Toys for Tots Foundation and the launch of its annual nationwide fundraising campaign to spread joy this holiday season to the 15.5 million U.S. children living in poverty. Now through Sunday, December 13, the general public is welcome to donate new, unwrapped toys at any of the Company's 540 model home communities across the country.
"CalAtlantic Homes is delighted to continue our support as a National Corporate Sponsor of Marine Toys for Tots," said CalAtlantic Homes President and Chief Executive Officer, Larry T. Nicholson. "Bringing cheer to children and families in need during the holidays is a wonderful cause that the entire CalAtlantic Homes team is proud to support."

Over its lifespan, Toys for Tots has supplemented local toy collections with more than 108 million toys, valued at more than $800 million. While the Marines coordinate and manage the program, the Foundation's success depends on the support of the local community and the kindness of people who donate toys.
