Toys for Tots

[Gunner46]

Please help our Marine Corps Reserve by support this honorable program.

There is a unit, or a barrel, somewhere close to 99% of us. You would Amazed what your company may do if you just go in and ask. (Marketing people are the best to hit up !) I have been given Cases of trinkettes, Handed straight $100 bills, and even given a Company Credit Card.....just because I asked.

If you can't give a new toy, no matter what the price, you can give some cash. EVERY single penny, of EVERY single $$$ goes to toys. What other group can claim that ?

I have been there when the doors were opened to the parents and I can tell you....It'll exercise your heart........... What YOU give may be the only toy a child gets for Christmas.

Every year, the wife and I go buy a few nice toys and drop them off with the Marines.

Really ? I thought it had to be a NEW toy. Heck, I've got a whole garage full of used (working) bikes.

I had a great time with the T4T program. we would fly into McGrath, AK (C-130) and snowmachine to Nikoli and takotna. that was a rough ride more than once on those trips. Had a blast though, the kids loved it, parents appreciated it.

Did it for 3 years before I had orders out of AK. Part that I still cant understand, I was the smallest guy at 160lbs and guess what size santa suit they brought??????

Its a very worthy cause and anybody who donates I know I appreciate it.

Thanks for posting Gunner. It is a great program. The Marines have never let us down and continue to be exemplary.

We have about 3 more weekends full of charity motorcycle runs here...Toys for Tots is one of em. They're all good.

I occasionally run into a guy sometimes that is always down on his luck. Won't get into the reasons, just know that for some reason in life, he has always had a tough go of it.

Ran into him a few days after Christmas last year, and he made some sort of "Happy Holidays" type of comment. Somehow I must have asked something like "did you have a good Christmas?" and he began to share how his kids got signed up for Toys for Tots and he was overwhelmed with the amount of toys/presents his kids got from this organisation. He started to get choked up describing the generosity of the program giving his kids something that he could never give them.

...and then you kicked him in the groin.

I swear I am the only person besides Dubya who understands what it means to be a "Compassionate Conservative".....

My office does a secret santa sort of thing, but instead we buy toys for each other that all get donated to Toys for Tots. T4T is just another fine example of the good our Marines do in all walks of life.

Great work Mike.

I hope everyone who can afford it will donate to some cause for Christmas. Over time, we have made more of our Christmas spending to be charitable causes, such as this, and the Food Bank.

 

[Gunner46]

Just go to the $1.oo store and buy a bag full. Kids don't care, if their ecpecting nothing.

My younger brother still curses me to this day for gving his 4 yrs old a LOUD A$$ six shooter I got for $1.00 ! (Payback for giving my 4 yrs a LOUD A$$ drum....BAM,BAM,BAM,BAM,BAM,BAM......BAM)

Ahhhhhhh.....Revenge is so sweet ! LMAO

 

[scottymack]

Thanks Gunner we donate every year the old office was full of old Marines so we made sure there were bins. Haven't seen any around here yet but will make certain I donate.

Big Fin & others,
Again I have asked my co-workers to donate, this time for the Food Bank here in Winnemucca, NV. I started a "Give Me Five" program where I ask those who can donate to give me a $5 donation. Friday the 3rd we collected and again this Friday the 10th I will ask and we will make the donation to them on Monday the 13th.
