Goodyear's Toys for Tots Event Offers Holiday Joy in Carson with Blimp Tours
This December, the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company will host its annual Toys for Tots event in Carson, California, inviting the local community to spread holiday cheer through toy donations. This festive occasion, which unites the essence of giving with a unique experience, will take place at the Goodyear Blimp base.
Goodyear has always been committed to helping people on their daily travels, and during the holiday season, they are enhancing that commitment by partnering with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves to collect toys for children in need. This partnership aims to bring joy to less fortunate families by ensuring that every child experiences the magic of the holidays.
The event is scheduled for December 4 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., and December 5 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Those who wish to participate are encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy to donate, which will support the local Toys for Tots campaign. In addition to contributing to the toy drive, attendees will have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to tour the historical Goodyear airship hangar and see the impressive Goodyear Blimp up close.
Joni Fitch, director of community engagement at Goodyear, expressed the company’s excitement for the event, stating, “For 16 years, this tradition has brought our communities together around the holidays in a uniquely Goodyear way. Opening our blimp hangars gives us a special opportunity to welcome our neighbors and support Toys for Tots in helping make the holidays brighter for local children and families.” This sentiment reflects Goodyear's ongoing dedication to community involvement and making a positive impact during the holiday season.
The Toys for Tots program, which has been operational since 1947, aims to collect and distribute toys to underprivileged children during the holiday months, ensuring that every child can receive a gift during Christmas. Retired Marine Colonel Ted Silvester, Chief Revenue Officer of the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, expressed gratitude for Goodyear's commitment as a National Corporate Donor, stating, “With their generous support, we will be able to fulfill the Christmas holiday dreams of thousands of less fortunate children who otherwise might have been forgotten.”
Toy drives at Goodyear Blimp bases have previously resulted in impressive outcomes, with over 300,000 toys collected and raised funds exceeding $875,000 for the Marine Toys for Tots Program.
For those who cannot attend the event in person but wish to contribute, donations via mail are also welcome. Monetary supports can be directed towards this noble cause. The Goodyear Airship Base is located at 19200 S. Main St. Carson, CA 90248. Further donation details can be found online at www.goodyearblimp.com or on the Goodyear Blimp Facebook page.
