The Toys for Tots organization provides service to many different agencies in the Mid-Ohio Valley as part of its commitment to collecting new unwrapped toys and distribute those toys to less fortunate children at Christmas. They currently provide gifts to over 4000 children in Wood, Wirt, Jackson and Washington Counties and have several fundraisers throughout the year which helps with awareness and toy collection that helps fill up a large warehouse that stores all the toys they collect throughout the year.
Race fans are encouraged to bring new and unwrapped toys to the Speedway on Friday Night to be entered into a drawing for a chance at FREE race tickets and the fan that brings the most toys will receive a FREE general admission pass for the remainder of the season.
