1st Annual Cruise For Tots Toy Drive!!

We are going to have a "Cruise for Tots" toy drive. I figure its a good way to help kids in need and a good way to end the year with a cruise.

The Advocate is going to run a story in the paper about it, maybe that would help put the Newark car scene crowd into a good light with the local police Everyone should bring out their summer cars for one final cruise together. We will meet at 11am at Meijers on 21st street. You can either bring pre-purchased toys with you, or go inside the store and purchase them.

All toys should be new, unopened and unwrapped. Each participant is to buy atleast 1 boy and 1 girl toy. Toys do not need to be anything huge, it could range from a Barbie to books, to footballs to teddy bears.

From Meijers we will be cruising down 21st street, to 16 towards the Salvation Army down east here in Newark where toys will be dropped off. I would much rather help local kids, then go to some other town.

Hopefully everyone can put ego's aside for one day and participate even if someone is there that you don't really get along with. Remember this is for the kids, not your ego!

Also if anyone knows of someone or personally has a Santa Clause outfit let me know, either I or someone else will be dressing up!

A big thanks goes out to the following sponsor(s):
Robby@ Newark Custom Graphix
Chris Banks@ Attention to Detail
Josh Cummings@ Sharp Apparel

Ill be there got the day scheduled off

Spread the word, lets get as many cars as we can!!

Meijers has a no soliciting policy, a couple of our sponsors are offering some services with money going towards toys. Newark CustomGraphix will have the "1st Anual Cruise For Tots" stickers available, however these will need to be purchased before hand. They are $3 a piece and are pretty cool looking!! Also Sharp! Apparel will be having a raffle to win one of their shirts. It is $1 per entry and again proceeds go towards toys. If you want a sticker or want to enter for the T-shirt please post in here so I can get together with you before Saturday!!

Haha I just saw MattM and instantly thought of Matt Mick, totally forgot his name on here was GT Cola. Are you friends with Pound? Not putting a face with the name at the moment. If so can you give him your money for the sticker and tickets before saturday so I can collect it? Thanks!

Great event! Props to josh for setting this up!

but pretty much everyone was there
Nice to have everybody together before it gets freezin
damn nice day for it too

Haha for sure, I even said afterwards "do we have to have a toy drive nightly next summer in order to get this many people to come out" lol. We couldn't have gotten better weather for December 4th! It was a great way to end the year (car scene wise) for sure.
