My first Cruise For Tots event

[DaddyBuiltRacing]

Well some of you may or may not know that I put together a "Cruise For Tots" toy drive here in Newark. My goal was 50 cars and 100 toys, needless to say those goals were not only met, but far exceeded (toy wise). We had over 60 cars at one point in time during the day and collected 242 new toys, that we then donated to The Salvation Army. Not a bad turnout for something I threw together in about 3 weeks worth of time. Hoping that next years event draws even more cars/toys!

 

Anyways I figured I would just post up some pics (don't hate on the cell phone quality pics lol).

Looks like a good turn out and some neat cars too. Good on you for putting together a charity cruise. Very cool!

Thanks, the pics don't really do any justice as most were taken after some cars had left.

Congrats on getting that to go off successfully.

Thanks man, it had its moments where I didn't think it was gonna happen. The best thing I did was go to the paper and have them write an article about the event. I had random cars stop and donate toys saying they had read bout it in the paper.
