“One week left until the Toys for Tots Drivers’ Holiday Challenge at The Raceway at the Western Fair District which means there is also a week left to donate.” says Holiday Toy Drive organizer Kelley McNiven. “As you know, we have received a lot of support this year through toy and monetary donations - thank you to everyone who has donated thus far! If you are still looking to donate, toy donations can be dropped off to Mare Flare at Flamboro Downs until this weekend or to either of the Wilson’s Tack Shop locations in London. Toy and monetary donations can also be given to Kim Heywood McNiven, Erin Swainson-Brickman, Brinsley Brickman, or myself… All donations will be entered for our three draws!”
