Equine.com Introduces Gift Wrapping for Horse Ads with All Proceeds to Benefit the Toys For Tots Foundation

PHOENIX, Sept 19, 2002 - Equine.com, The World's Largest Horse Marketplace, is excited to introduce Holiday Gift Wrapping for all classified horse ads. For a $5.00 donation to the Marine Toys For Tots Foundation, any classified horse ad placed within the Equine.com system can be Gift Wrapped for the Holidays.

Gift Wrapping draws attention to a sellers classified ad and lets potential buyers know this horse is special and would make a great gift.

Unfortunately, during the holiday season, many underprivileged children feel left out and will never understand the joy associated with receiving a gift. "With the end of the year fast approaching, we wanted to do something that would draw attention to the millions of children who will have a less than perfect holiday," stated Aaron Bromagem, founder and President of Equine.com. "For years the Toys For Tots Foundation has been dedicated to helping children and creating a positive impact by giving the greatest gift of all, hope."

Equine.com is encouraging all of its sellers who would like to put a smile on childs face this year to Gift Wrap their classified horse ad and feel the joy associated with giving.

Individuals who do not have a classified ad on Equine.com, but would still like to contribute, can mail their donation directly to Toys For Tots, c/o Equine.com. The mailing address can be found on the Equine.com web site at http://www.equine.com/corp/contactus.asp
