I admit, I don't frequent the forums much anymore, but I am looking for a good place to post this topic. I would like (and encourage others) to start a toy drive for the holidays. Sure, we all have Toys For Tots and other charities we may support around the holidays, but many of us have a bunch of extra Cars items laying around (particularly those of us that have been in the game for a lot of years). Maybe we could start a Cars toy drive with Nathan's playroom (not to call Kevin out). Personally, I have a bunch of items I could donate. The holidays are a time when those of us that are fortunate enough to not find ourselves in a bad place can reach out and help others. I would like to donate a bunch of items and would like for us to find a way to do so together. This is a great community that MET and others have created, and I have had the opportunity to meet a bunch of wonderful people on here. I know the joy that something as simple as a couple of toys can bring to a family that is struggling to pay for much more important and basic necessities. Anyone have some ideas on how we could put some legs under this thing and get a quality Cars toy drive started? Competition never hurt anyone too bad… I look forward to hearing your thoughts. Kevin, MET and others?
A wonderful thought Eric! I did see where Nascarfan had put the call out for KDay 7… very cool as well! That's why I love this place, with all the members around here that are so generous on a regular basis, not just at the Holidays.
If you would like, I would be more than happy to take in any extras/donations that TFAD'ers would like to send, and I can either put them into the Nathan's Playroom donation pool, OR I can take them to our local Children's Hospital, which is the Riley Hospital for Children here in Indianapolis.
Anyone have any thoughts? If TFAD wants us to do this, I will email Met to work out details!
Yes we did Kevin, and thank you again for those. We are already planning on using some of them for another delivery we are making to the hospital next month!
For those of you that don't already know, Nathan's Playroom has started a new campaign on our website… please go check out NathansPlayroom.org, and click on the "43 Days" tab!
