BASKET BONANZA
Other Event Type for Marine Toys for Tots FoundationOct 28, 2022 from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM
We are having both a chinese/silent auction to raise money to buy toys. We are 1 of 4 in the Country that allows the parents to pick out their toys. Each TFT Campaign is run differently by each respective coordinator. Last year, my campaign was able to provide toys for over 40,000 children both civilian and military ( we have the Joint Base). We do not get financial backing from the foundation. Each campaign relies on donations to use to purchase toys and what we need to have a successful campaign. Since COVID, we are only at 20% of our donations boxes that are going out, that is only 120 businesses when we are well over 600 normally. WIthout this auction, I am not certain how our season will fair. Also, we do not just do Christmas as other campaigns, but we do all gift giving holidays for all religions. We feel it is important to do outreach for all religions.
