Ok BMMC, lets talk toys.........

Its time to start collecting for the Toy Drive! I am personally challenging everyone in the club to step up big this year with donations. Together we can change the lives of many with the gift of a toy.

This year as always BMMC will spearhead the toy drive starting immediately to gather as many toys as possible before our drop date. After the drop date has been determined we will meet at BHF to turn over all donations to the Reed Park community center.

For those of you new to the club I will give you a brief rundown of the toy drive.

We (BMMC) work with Bob Hurley Ford to raise toys for children in the Tulsa area. The toys are donated to the Reed Park advisory council. Reed Park is a community center located on Tulsas west side. The Reed Park advisory council works in conjunction with the local public schools and their counselors to choose children who would surely go without for Christmas if it werent for the donations raised. A unique system is in place for children chosen to participate in the reception of donations. Each chosen child receives a toy as well as any children under the age of 12 in the same household. This way all the children in a home get a toy as well. This is why it is so important that we raise as many toys as possible! Toys may be donated for Boys and Girls ages 1-12. After the donations are received by the Reed Park council they are sorted by volunteers into groups for gender and age appropriate gifts. They are wrapped and a Santa Clause is on hand on the night of giving at the community center to distribute the toys to the children. I have witnessed this first hand with some of the other club members and can attest to it being a eye opening event.

Toy donations are welcome as well as cash. If you would like to send a cash donation you can send it via PayPal to boldmovestulsa@gmail.com . 100% of all monies raised go towards buying Toys! All cash donations will be held until the weekend before the toy drop and an outing will be established for anyone who would like to join in and go buy toys. This is a really fun event! If you have any questions please feel free to ask!

I hope you join me in helping to make a childs life a little bit brighter!

Thanks,

David McKay

Don't forget... this is a BMMC Challenge Point event. Somebody has to catch Kelly!

thanks david i will be sure to donate ,although the shelby meet is a lot of fun i think this is the most important thing our club does!!
BTW it looks like everyone but mickey had a blast at walmart

Catch Kelley? I need to catch Justin first! How can I do that with only 50 points at stake?

I believe you get one point for every dollar you donate to the toy drive, Blair. How big a boy are ya??

Well, since I never had kids, me buying toys would be a mistake, so cash it's gonna be.

Don't get me wrong. I like kids. That is if they are seasoned properly....

Can I be your kid?











when you pass away in a few years....I get the cobra....K?

Don't do it...

I might have a bit of a problem with a Jerbear running around the house. I'm sure the cat wouldn't like it....

Dont forget the Toy Drive and the opprotunity to catch Kelley in the points race in the process.

I'm in. How would it be best to catch Kelly? What does the toy drive entail? Guess I could surf the site and find out for myself, huh?

easy blair just give them money to buy toys with

It's anyones game in respect to the challenge points. Anyone can win if the kids win with toys!!

Agreed, it is more about the toys more than anything.

So what do we do, collect them, buy them, panhandle for money, or build them?

Bmmc is taking up a collection of toys or money. The day After thanksgiving is the typical day to go shopping for the kiddos with all the money that has been raised. The next day, we get together and go to Bob Hurley to drop them off. Bob usually provides burgers or something and we have a small mustang show as well.

Next major event! Lets get toys!!!!!

Money sent!!

The shopping trip was very successful! Thanks to all that came out!

Some quick facts...

The final totals were $1200 donated!
Six Shopping basket fulls of toys
224 toys
The receipt measured 33 inch long... Just short of 3 ft.
One stuffed animal molested. ( See pic)

Special thanks to JD and Maria. They had a tax exempt card that saved us over $100 and allowed us to buys more toys!

That's awsome!!

That's terrific! If you allow two toys per kid and 4 kids per household, that's 28 households that this club alone has helped to have a better Christmas this year!! Way to go, BMMC!!

Yes! Biggest year yet!

Good job guys. That pic of all of you in WalMart made me queezy....

Damn thats alot of toys, can I have the molested frog?

good job folks!
