Polsinelli of Marcus & Millichap spearheads children's toy drive

Adelaide Polsinelli of Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Services, has spearheaded one of the largest toy drives in the area. Polsinelli, an associate VP, investments at Marcus & Millichap, also serves as the president of the co-op apartment building at 2 Fifth Ave. Polsinelli organized this year's record-breaking toy drive to benefit the Children's Aid Society of New York. More than 1,000 toys were donated and distributed to children in need throughout the metropolitan N.Y.C. area. For Polsinelli, 2009 marks the ninth year she has participated in the toy drive. "During difficult economic times, the work of the Children's Aid Society is crucial," said Polsinelli. "I am thankful to all of the citizens of New York who donated to this important cause. "The children are our city's future," she said. "By giving to kids in our own backyard, we are paving the way for a brighter tomorrow." Polsinelli also donates a toy in the name of her real estate clients and associates.
