MTSI was able to significantly increase this year's donation, thanks to the generosity of Dayton employees as well as matching MTSI corporate funds. The Dayton office collected donations, shopped for the kids, held a gift wrapping "party," and delivered the presents on the day of the Christmas Party. Building Bridges is an organization that works with at-risk children between 9-18 years of age and their families.
