Toys for Tots Drive 2017... in Transit Vans!

Borgman Ford is playing Santa's sleigh-helper for the 2017 Toys for Tots Drive. Area Marine Corps Reserve volunteers will be touring the town to collect toys to brighten the life of a child this Christmas in two Ford Transit Vans loaned to the cause. Each year, the US Marine Corps teams up with various businesses and organizations to provide toy drop-off locations for those wishing to make a donation. The Marine Corps Reserve, Marine Corps League and civilian volunteers collect all toy donations and distribute them to needy families in the area.

"The Transit Cargo Van is a very capable Dasher or Comet " said Tod Tobin, Commercial Account manager in Borgman's Fleet department. "Pick any reindeer who's a reliable performer with some zip and you have the soul-twin of the Transit Van."

Ford's best selling delivery workhorse will be making the rounds at Grand Rapids area businesses this year throughout the balance of November until the final pickup December 20th.

"We challenge every business to do what they can to collect toys for this great cause. Sign up and brighten the life of a child," said Matt Borgman, General Manager of the dealership.

Borgman Ford will be calling on its own customers to fill a few van loads of toys this season. Drop-offs begin today, with a $10 Off Oil Change coupon for the first 250 donors.

MAKE A DONATION:
Stop by the dealership at 3150 28th Street SW, Grand Rapids, MI any time before Dec. 10th with your unwrapped toy(s). The average age for children receiving toys is 14 years and younger. Please note that Toys For Tots will not accept realistic looking weapon toys and gifts with food.

REGISTER TO RECEIVE TOYS:
To register as a Toys For Tots recipient, contact a Marine Corps representative.

FOR COMPANIES - BECOME A TOY DROP OFF LOCATION
The deadline to register to become a drop off location is Nov. 26. Follow this link to sign up: https://grand-rapids-mi.toysfortots.org/local-coordinator-sites/lco-sites/local-toy-drop-form.aspx
