Toys for Tots Drive Sunday at LP Field

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Titans and the US Marine Corps Toys for Tots Foundation will once again join forces for Touchdown for Tots, a national toy drive benefiting the Toys for Tots Foundation, during their annual Toys for Tots Drive at LP Field on Sunday.   The Titans are asking fans to bring a new, unwrapped toy to LP Field on Sunday, December 15th when the Titans host the Arizona Cardinals with a 3:25pm kickoff.    

 

Members of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve will be in uniform and stationed at seven drop-off sites to accept toys from fans starting at 1:00 pm when the gates open.  All toys collected during the drive will be donated to Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program.  The Marine Corps Reserve, with the assistance of local social welfare agencies, church groups, and other local community agencies, distribute toys to the neediest children in middle Tennessee.  The Titans encourage all Tennessee residents to participate in their local Toys for Tots area drives to help those in need this holiday season.

With 16 million children living in poverty in the United States, the need for Toys for Tots is greater than ever.  Titans fans can get involved by bringing a new, unwrapped toy to the game or go online at www.toysfortots.org  now through December 24th to sponsor a toy for a less fortunate child in their community.

For years, the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation has delivered a message of hope to less fortunate children through the gift of a new toy during the holiday season.  Upon the conclusion of the 2012 campaign, Toys for Tots had distributed nearly 16.8 million toys to more than 7 million children nationwide who might not have otherwise experienced the magic of the Christmas holiday season.
The Titans would like to publicly thank our partners at American Paper & Twine for their assistance with the team's charity drives throughout the 2013 season.  AP&T provided trucks to transport items collected at the various drives for the third consecutive season in 2013.
