ScionLife Donates Six-Grand-Worth of Toys

Our toy drive brought in $5400 this year!

We filled nine Scions with about 30 shopping carts full of toys. That is exactly 1408 toys purchased, worth $6000. We got a 10% discount which brought us down to our donated total. It took over an hour to buy all of the toys!

Here is video footage of some of the toys as we are buying them:

And here are photos of the event from beginning to end:

It feels really good to make this happen, next year will be even bigger!

They dedicated two registers just for our event, but even then we had a line! A dozen carts all at the same time and we thought we might have grabbed too many toys, but when they finished ringing it all up we had barely crossed the halfway point! We all had to run back and fill up more carts!

This is simply amazing, It is good to know that many children will have something to enjoy and appreciate this Christmas because of the good hearts of many Scion owners. Way to go guys.

Thank's to Darren,Troy, Fred Meyers, and all who donated. This was fun for my family and I. My son enjoyed picking out toy's for other kids for the Santa Lights. That's what he calls Christmas.
