6th Annual Children's Hospital Toy Run - Aurora, CO
« on: June 25, 2015 - 03:19:06 PM »
I know we have a bunch of choices of shows at this time of year, but I think this one is well worth it.  The Toy Run has been occurring every summer for the last 6 years with a car show at Children's Hospital Colorado. We park the cars on the top level of the parking garage so the kids who can't come outside can still see the cars.  The entry fee for each car is as many new toys as they can donate to the hospitals treasure chest. Every year the show gets larger. Last year we had 160 cars attend and the pile of toys donated was huge. The only issue was the mountain of toys only last the hospital about 2 months. Trying to increase that mountain of toys to last the hospital 6 months. They use the toys to restock play rooms, for surgery days, tough days. Every sick kid needs a toy and a reason to smile.. Thank you for thinking about the kids.

Saturday, June 27th  9:00 - 12:00 with kids judging from 10:00-11:00. 
13123 E 16th Ave.  Aurora, CO

Had a great day today at the show.  I packed the Cuda full of toys, and Mark (Roadman5312) was kind enough to chip in to help in buying all the toys.    :2thumbs:

The kids voted on the best cars, and you were encouraged to bribe them.  And so I took full advantage by handing out Frozen Otter Pops.  It must have worked because I got a top 5 award.

Hey, that's a cool idea and great for all those kids.
By the way your car looks killer and deserves a top five award.
I'm a big kid so I'll be watching for my Frozen Otter Pop in the mail.
