The annual Toys for Tots donation drive at Aqueduct Racetrack will return Thursday, Dec. 5 and continue through Saturday, Dec. 7. Founded in 1947, the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Foundation collects and distributes new, unwrapped toys to local children in need each holiday season. Fans can access donation boxes at Aqueduct, located at the Turf and Field entrance and the Clubhouse lobby by the escalator.
“This partnership means more children and families throughout New York City and across Long Island will experience a joyful holiday season,” said Robert Hines, NYRA Manager of Community Affairs. “NYRA extends our thanks to the Marine Corps Reserve for their efforts, and to all those who support Toys for Tots.”
In addition to the New York Racing Association, the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Foundation is supported by generous contributions from the New York Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association (NYTHA) and thoroughbred owner Harold Lerner.
“NYTHA salutes the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Foundation for all they do to support children in our communities,” said NYTHA President Tina Marie Bond. “New York's horsemen and women take pride in giving generously each and every year to ensure that children everywhere can enjoy the holidays.”
