TOYS FOR TOTS

Help Support Toys for Tots Drive sponsored by the Marine Corps League of Lancaster County. 
Did you know that Toys for Tots provided over 8,000 toys for families last year?
We want to do so much more this year, and the Marines are looking for a Few Good Fans from McCaskey to help us win this battle.
We have formed a challenge between McCaskey, Manheim Twp, and Hempfield to see which school can do what it takes to provide the most toys at one of their football games.

McCaskey's date is October 30th.  The Toys for Tots train will be rolling into your stadium on October 30th.  Please bring an unwrapped new toy to deposit at the train and help families throughout the City and the County to have a nice Christmas.  The school that provides the most toys will be provided a trophy to be presented to your school.

Thanks for your support!
