Default Corvette Angels Toy Drive

We are excited to announce that Corvette Angels, the signature charitable toy drive event of Road Runner Vettes and the Salvation Army is Saturday, November 11th at Charlotte Motor Speedway and The Speedway Club. November 11th is also Veterans Day, and the planning committee is putting together a very special event for our sponsors and participants.

Please share the announcement with your family/friends/club members and on all your social media platforms. For those who want to donate but cannot attend in-person, scan the QR code to donate online. This code is provided through the Salvation Army and 100% of the proceeds will go towards the purchase of toys for the day's event.

We look forward to seeing you all for another wonderful event! Bring an unwrapped toy and come join us! For additional questions, please contact us at rrvclubmail@gmail.com.

This is a GREAT event put on by an incredible club! I had the pleasure of attending this event a few years ago when I still lived in the Charlotte area.

Worth the trip and for a great cause!

Thanks Mark. Last year we celebrated 10 years of giving to the Salvation Army. A total of 10,000 toys donated!

We appreciate you and your support.

Always a great event! We have attended for several years now, and last year we even got our picture taken with Santa. But, this year one of our grandsons is getting married....on November 11th, so we will be missing out on a couple of our favorite November events.
Very best wishes for even more toy volume this year!

We are definitely going to miss you. This year, we will have the opportunity to honor our veterans, so this will make the event more special.

You can still donate online. Remember that proceeds from your online donation will go towards the purchase of toys for the day's event. Plus, you will get a formal receipt from the Salvation Army, which you can use as a tax-deductible donation. Click or scan below:

Hey Corvette Forum!

Thank you for your support of Corvette Angels. With your kindness and generosity, we were able to collect close to 1,000 toys this year. Your help and goodwill allow the Salvation Army to distribute donated gifts to children in need who would have otherwise gone without Christmas cheer this holiday season.

To date, Corvette Angels has collected approximately eleven thousand toys for children in the greater Charlotte area. Your donations play a significant role in these efforts. We are truly grateful for your continued support.

We look forward to seeing you next year for another successful event.
