Through the Multi-Discipline Conference's Joe Stewart Toy Drive, TIA donates toys to charitable organizations serving children. The Toy Drive was begun in 1986 by a toy industry credit executive, Joe Stewart, who had a special interest in children and who coordinated the donation program, which at the time was held during TIA's annual credit seminar. When Mr. Stewart died in 1993, the program was re-named in his honor, and to date children's charities have received more than $1 million worth of toys from TIA member companies.
