toys for tots

Friday, December 11th at 6am the United States Marine Corps will be hanging out at 1st and Mead with their M 1 A 1 tank. Every year the USMC and 94.5 KATS-FM, 92.9 The Bull, 1073 KFFM, News-talk 1280 KIT, 1460 ESPN and Mega 99.3 teams up with Steve Hahn Volkswagen, KIA and Mercedes Benz of Yakima to gather up as much money and toys as we can for 'Toys For Tots' foundation.

Toys for Tots is and non-profit organization headed up by the USMC. It started in 1947 and has been growing strong ever since gathering up toys and money so that all kids have a new toy for Christmas. We did a chili cook off at Owens with USMC Bravo Company 4th Tank Battalion and it was a huge success.

The United States Marine Corps will be on hand this Saturday (Nov. 14) at Dickey's Barbecue Pit to accept brand-new toys for their excellent program for children, Toys for Tots.

Toys for Tots is one of the most amazing programs in the world. Not only is it headed up by the United States Marine Corps, it helps less fortunate children locally have toys for the holiday season. The Marines are hanging out at Toys R Us today (Nov. 6) to accept donations from the public.

The annual Toys for Tots Bike Run is going down this Sunday in Yakima. We will be kicking it off at the Albertsons parking lot on 16th Avenue at 1 p.m.! Please bring a new, unwrapped toy that day -- or stop by the radio station, 4010 Summitview, and make sure Kelly West gets the toy...
