I grew up in a family of five, and that’s a lot to handle for the holidays. But thanks to the U.S. Marines - Toys For Tots program, we’re going to make sure as many families as possible have a happy holidays. This Friday, join the Cox Media Group Tampa Bay family for our annual Toy Drive at the Oldsmar Walmart on Tampa Road. I’ll kick it off at 5:30 am, and Kristy Knight will take over at 2 pm. Bring a new, unwrapped toy to donate, or just head inside Walmart that will have plenty of items ready to go. Oh, and if you happen to drop by to say hello to Kristy between 4-5 pm, we’ll have an extra chance to register to win that $5,000 in Dove Christmas Cash!
There’s a great chance to make a difference with The Dove and The Boys and Girls Club of Tampa Bay with Great Futures. You donation will help keep services in place for more than 12,500 young people in Hillsborough and Pasco County. Take a moment to check them out online and make a donation for this holidays.
