Thanks for posting George and for all the help you provide leading up to this event.

This is one of my favorite events we're involved in and we truly appreciate the effort you all put out to help help kids in our area.

Looking forward to seeing everyone here.

Thanks Richie. I already have a huge bag of toys in my garage I've collected already from Daniel. Duman. He is always in Hawaii for this event and they make sure to get my a bunch of toys every year.
So if you can't make the event you can make arrangements with me or Abel and drop toys off at the dealership or I'll figure out a way to get them from you.
Just remember. Every toy matters. We've raised over 4K toys and over 6k cash for toys for tots since doing the event at Abel Chevy.

Thank you to all for your support.

Good Morning Everyone...

So who else is coming to the toy run this year ?
All the meet locations are posted.
We have a bunch of raffle prizes again this year
And if you can't make it and still want to support.
You can either drop toys off at able.
Or you can PayPal me and I'll add it to the total cash donation.
So come out and help support toys for tots and the kids this year.
Thanks again for everyone's continued support

Looks like the weather will be Corvette weather so, I will have to ink this in and meet at the Sacramento Target. I assume that this is the Target on Madison and College Oak? Will the run be direct to Abel or will the run take a route down the river road to Rio Vista? Just curious.

I remember doing the Toy Runs many years ago with the Just 4 Corvettes Corvette Club. Do they still do the toy runs. The toy run use to go from the Arco Arena to the Sunrise Mall with well over 200 cars and boy did that screw up the traffic along the way for hours.
