Thirteen Maricopa County Chevy Dealers Collect Toys this Holiday Season

PHOENIX, 2006-11-28 - The Valley Chevrolet Dealers are partnering with Toys for Tots to help bring joy to local children this holiday season. Thirteen area dealerships have made their stores available as collection points for the toy drive this year. This is the third consecutive year that the Valley Chevrolet dealers have partnered with Toys for Tots.
“It’s wonderful to help put a smile on the face of a child, especially during the holiday season,” said Bill Gruwell, owner of Courtesy Chevrolet and president of the Valley Chevrolet Dealers Association. “The Valley Chevrolet dealers have a long standing history of giving back to the community. We’re thrilled to support Toys for Tots again this year.”

The mission of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during November and December each year and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community.

New toys may be dropped off during normal business hours at any one of the 13 participating Chevrolet dealerships, which include Bill Heard Chevrolet (Scottsdale); Brown and Brown Chevrolet (Mesa); Power Chevrolet (Superstition Springs); Chapman Chevrolet (Tempe); Courtesy Chevrolet (Phoenix); Freeway Chevrolet (Chandler); Gateway Chevrolet (Avondale); Power Chevrolet (Camelback); Power Chevrolet (Peoria); Midway Chevrolet (Phoenix); Sands Chevrolet (Glendale); Thorobred Chevrolet (Chandler); and Van Chevrolet (Scottsdale).

The donated toys will be picked up from the dealerships beginning December 19.

Toys donated will be brought together in a formal Chevy Silverado Convoy. The convoy will be made up of 13, all-new 2007 Chevy Silverado trucks, which will drive around the Loop 101 starting at 1:30 p.m. on December 19. The 13 trucks will be filled with toys and will follow a U.S. Marine military vehicle that will lead them around the Loop 101 starting at 44 th street in the Airport Marriott parking lot ( 1101 N. 44 th St ). The Chevy Silverado Convoy of Toys for Tots will end at U.S. Marine Reserve Headquarters in Buckeye at approximately 4:00 p.m. (U.S. Marine Corp Reserve, 1201 N. 35 th Ave. , Phoenix , Ariz. 85009) Toys from this convoy will be delivered to the headquarters where the U.S. Marines will distribute to area children in time for Christmas.
