This is going to be a BIG ONE. I want to see everybody there. I mean everybody. This is for the CHILDREN that are less fortunate. I don't care what you bring, a hot wheel or a stuffed animal. Just an unopened toy. This will show the community that all the cars are not street racing all the time. This will be an open forum event. I will post on other forums. YOU NEED TO BE AT THIS ONE!
LETS MAKE SOME KIDS HAVE A GREAT CHRISTMAS!

I will do my best to make this one

 

as will i....

 

I was an underprivilaged child........it did make a differance........now every year I can I donate toys........kinda hope it helps out another child like it did me......although to this day I am still not a fan of Xmas and the memories it leaves me......glad life is not so hard for me and my family now.......my poor mom had it rough........she always came through with some miracle though every year.

 

I have 2 toys already I can donate...but that's quite a drive to do it!

 

Brian.. i'm glad you have turned around your life and things got better for you and that you're helping others in need.

As for me - i have plenty to give (lots of scion items too lol)

 

i am not sure what to donate.....maybe a diecast toy of a scion....to get them loving scions early

 

I remember my favorite xmas was when my mom made me a Xavier Roberts(the guy who made cabbage patch dolls)Tuxedo Teddy Bear.The bear is a little known item he did not do much marketing for and as such it fell to the waysides and ended up only available via pattern stores........she made me the entire bear and the tux for it.......I had it till I was 25 years old and my sons mom lost it........it was supposed to goto my son........perhpas some day I can sew one up for him........

Here is a copy of the pattern on Ebay........

Perhaps we southerners can get stuff together and someone will make the trip. I would REALLY like to do this either for this drive or one locally. It's a cause close to my heart for other reasons....so I would like to help....

 

well so far ive been to a few of them and no way i am going to miss this one so count me in.

 

i know last year we had pdxmas down here jenn and we all brought toys to that.

wondering if beaverton is going to do something this year??

 

Ahhh cool Don. We won't have a ton, Christmas is gonna be slim pickins for us...but I have some new toys and such that we have accumulated through the year that I want to make sure get to a good place

 

Last year it seems the Portland and Seattle drives were the same day or weekend or something.......

 

well i hope they both fall on different days would like to do both

 

i will try to make this i already have people in the office collecting there spare change.

 

I'll try to make it up there for this. I sent this link to Rose City Corvettes,,

 

I try to do this event every year and it has never disapointed! Last year I even got to find me new favorite buffet (we ended the run there) We actually filled almost the entire back of the tC with toys it was great!

Last year this event coincided with PDXmass, if it happens again I'll be making the trek to the south, otherwise I'm all in as usual.

 

Im in this for sure!!

 

Seriously Mike? Not like you will be shopping for this!!! I'm a mom I know how to shop toys for kids lol.....can't you tell by my spoiled a$$ kids...

 

i've been to all of these since they started, think i might try this one on my bike
