Toys for Tots - Toys for Trees
|
Volkswagen Pasadena is proud to announce it is hosting the first “Toys for Tots Tree Exchange” in collaboration with the United States Marine Corp this
December 9th through 11th.
Volkswagen Pasadena welcomes families in the community to exchange a new unopened and unwrapped child’s toy valued at $10 or more for a fresh cut six to seven foot “grade 1” Nobel Fir Christmas Tree. The “Toys for Tots Tree Exchange” will be held at Volkswagen Pasadena from 4pm to 7pm on Friday, December 9th, 11am to 3pm on Saturday, December 10th, and will extend to Sunday December 11th if trees are available. The freshly cut trees will be shipped directly to the dealership the day before the event through a grower in Eugene, Oregon.
“This is a win-win”, said Rich Wilson, Volkswagen Pasadena Dealer. “We are supporting this well respected Marine Corp program, and helping children in the community receive a gift who might not otherwise receive anything for Christmas. We would love to see this as an annual event in hopes of building a long term relationship with the Marine Corp, the Pasadena community, and Toys for Tots. We also believe that this will create a spirit of giving to all who participate.”
Volkswagen Pasadena encourages residents of the city of Pasadena to open their hearts this Holliday season and help others in need. The goal is to help collect 450 new toys for the less fortunate, and will continue to collect Toys for Tots beyond December 11th, up until December 15th. For more information on this wonderful event contact Volkswagen Pasadena at 626-577-0300.
The First Annual Toys for Tots Tree Exchange will be hosted by Volkswagen Pasadena at 130 North Sierra Madre Boulevard, just south of the 210 fwy, between Colorado Blvd and Foothill Blvd. There will be a limit of one tree per family and the event will continue while supplies last.
