www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Friday December 19, 2008 - 39 M for Men supports the Annual Oakville Firefighters Toy Drive Patrizio DelBianco is quick to give credit to the Oakville's firefighters' annual Toy Drive for making all the difference in children's lives at Christmas. "They are truly Santa's Helpers," he said. If that's the case, then Patrizio is their right hand man. Make that his clients who are the firefighter's right hand men and women. It's their generosity that has made this toy drive so successful, he added. For the past six years, the owner of M for Men has sent everyone on his client list requests for donations in support of the Oakville Firefighters Toy Drive. "I feel that we are so lucky to have so much, which makes sharing our good fortune absolutely necessary," said Patrizio. "We have so many families without the basics around Christmas time. All I want is for someone to know that we have people out there that really do care," he added. Even in this time of economic hardship, this year's effort is surpassing last year's. Having enough donations to fill a cube van, Patrizio is humbled by the response. "I would like to thank all of my clients and friends for all of their donations," says Patrizio. "They have all come through to make this year, the best toy drive yet." "We are just so happy to be doing this year after year," he added. And this year is no exception. " The store's contributions to the Toy Drive began at the get go, when Patrizio moved his Toronto business to Oakville (340 Lakeshore Rd. E.) in 2002, expanding the shop's sportswear repertoire to include handmade suits from Pal Zileri's Sartoriale line. Like the toy drive, M for Men quickly became a gathering spot for the fashion-conscious. Younger clientele were eager to build a wardrobe worthy of their up and coming status while more mature men weary of their old suit and tie wanted something that took them out of the workplace. M for Men is a life style destination more than a clothing store, said its owner -- it's attitude without compromise. The clean, tailored craftsmanship synonymous with European clothiers dominates Patrizio's inventory such designers include Pal Zileri, Xacus, Lacoste, Andrea Palombini and Gran Sasso. From extreme style to classic lines, M for Men offers a vast selection of business casual to denim. Thank you for another successful Toy Drive
