Title: ATVFlorida Toys For Tots Run
Post by: jwscroll on June 23, 2005, 10:38:46 PM
Okay Marines, I need your help getting some contact info so's we can get this thing rollin'.
Action's speak louder than words, petitions, and even money in my eyes. So it's time to take some action/
We need to put together a toy run/ride to be held twice a year either at Ocala ( my preference) or Croom.
 I tried contacting the local Abate chapter to no avail, so I'd like to go straight to the source so to speak and find out what we need to do to make this work.

Let me know how I can help your cause.  I'm already trying to help the marine's cause by sponsoring Devildog55's unit and collect money to send them all phone cards to call home.  I'm always interrested in seeing what I can do to help others.

I need to know if anyone is willing to participate before I do a whole bunch of work on this. please post here if you would like to participate in a Toys for Tots ride sponsored by ATVFlorida to be held at Ocala. You only need to bring 1 unopened toy to the ride and you would be doing a child a christmas favor.
I need to know how many serious people would be interested.
Judging from the post about Augusts ride we could have a good turn out for one of these.

Okay, the first ATVFlorida Toy Run is going to be part of the Eureka Dam ride on Aug. 6 at Ocala National Forrest. See the Eureka Dam Group ride thread for more details and directions.
It would be nice if I had a general idea of how many people will be bringing toys so I can bring a big enough trailer.
T-shirts will be made available, details forthcoming.
For those that cannot attend this ride, I hope to schedule at least 2 more runs in different locations so as to get everyone involved.

As I've posted on other threads concerning this I'll fill in this one.
I will be selling the T-shirts at the ride,$7 for those with a toy(cost of shirt) and $10 for those that would just like to make a donation. If you want XXL or bigger PM me so I can order them.
The design is in the photo forum under Toy Run T-shirts.
I will be making an order tomorrow, favorite colors can be ordered. If you do not preorder it will be first come first serve at the ride.
All toys and proceeds from the shirts will be donated to the Arnold Palmer Childrens Hospital in Orlando.

jwscroll, I would like a shirt, XL gray with the design on the front no pocket. If all of this is not ok then be sure I get an XL.

I will see you at the ride and I will bring a toy.

Thanks for your hard work,
   Jim,

Muddygrl - How about in Oct ?  That might be good   right before the holidays and it might just be a few degrees cooler as well .  What do you think ?

Post by: MuddyGurl101 on July 12, 2005, 08:20:58 AM
