The fourth annual Southern California HUMMER Toys for Tots Drive is just a few days away, and HUMMER owners from around the county are gearing up for the event.
“Even in trying times like these, people from all over the Southland are coming out in the spirit of caring and giving,” says Mark Parkinson, who owns Tustin HUMMER.
More than 75 HUMMER owners are expected to meet at the Tustin HUMMER dealership early Saturday morning to begin their drive to Camp Pendleton, where they will bring hundreds of toys to U.S. Marines and their families.
Additional HUMMER owners will meet near the 5 Freeway on the way to Camp Pendleton to participate.
Last year, the HUMMER caravan donated about $75,000 worth of toys, and event organizers expect to see a similar amount this year.
Registration begins on Saturday at 7:30 a.m., and the caravan sets off at 8:45 a.m. Tustin HUMMER is located at 1 Auto Center Drive in Tustin.
