My Story: The Gift of Giving

My journey into the world of giving began back in Christmas 1986. As a child in a family doing its best to make ends meet, I learned the true spirit of Christmas. Thanks to the generosity of our local firehouse and the kindness of strangers, I received my first bicycle - a blue beacon of joy in a difficult time. This experience taught me the profound impact of generosity, inspiring me to pay it forward.

The Evolution of Our Toy Drive

What started at a local firehouse in Columbus, Ohio, as a personal mission to replicate that joy I felt as a child, has grown into a community-wide effort. Moving from Ohio to California, the drive expanded from a small group of friends and family to including local car clubs and businesses. Each year, we strive to reach more children, and as we prepare for 2024, we're aiming even higher.
