AKRON, Ohio, Nov. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Goodyear and
the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve are partnering for the tenth
consecutive year in support of the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation
at the company's airship bases in Florida and Ohio. The Goodyear Blimp events will provide
the public with an opportunity to donate to Toys for Tots while
enjoying an up close and personal view of the blimp inside the
hangar.
Beginning Dec. 1 and continuing
through Dec. 11, toy donations will
be accepted at select Goodyear Auto Service Center locations in
Florida and Ohio. Additionally, Dec. 3 through Dec. 13, Goodyear Toys for Tots
drop-off locations are expanding to Roll by Goodyear locations in
D.C. Metro and Greater
Philadelphia, offering donors $10 back on a tire alignment when a toy is
donated in-store.* Additional details on store locations is
available below and on www.goodyearblimp.com.
Donors are required to follow Goodyear's COVID-19 protocols,
including wearing a mask while on property, social distancing
guidelines and having toys in the trunk of your vehicle. Goodyear
will be hosting drive-thru donation events at the Ohio and Florida bases. On Dec.
11, 12 and 13, from 2 p.m. to 8
p.m., Ohio visitors can
drive through the Wingfoot Lake blimp hangar to drop off their
donation to a U.S. Marine representing Toys for Tots. The
Florida drive-thru event will take
place on Dec. 12 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. These events are free and open
to the public, with all attendees required to follow locally
mandated guidelines and precautions to prevent the spread of
COVID-19. Toys can also be shipped to Goodyear's hangars through
Dec. 8 for contactless donation. Toys
being donated must be new and in the original packaging to be
accepted.
"So much has changed this year in our communities and it's
critical that we continue to find ways to support them through safe
and unique experiences like this," said Laura Duda, Goodyear's senior vice president and
Chief Communications Officer. "Through our Toys for Tots
support over the past decade, we have expanded on our strong
relationship with the U.S. Marine Corps, and we are pleased to
continue delivering much-needed donations of toys to the children
who need them most, especially right now."
2020 marks the tenth year of the
collaboration between Goodyear and the Marines for events at its
airship bases in Ohio and
Florida, which have collectively
delivered almost 150,000 toys and nearly $500,000 to benefit Toys for Tots to date.
"We are very pleased to welcome Goodyear back for their 10th
year as a National Corporate Sponsor of the Marine Toys for Tots
Campaign," said retired Marine Colonel Ted
Silvester, Vice President of the Marine Toys for Tots
Foundation. "Their community service goals certainly align with
those the Marine Corps has promoted for over 72 years through our
Toys for Tots Program." Silvester concluded, "With their generous
support we will be able to fulfill the Christmas holiday dreams of
thousands of less fortunate children who otherwise might be
forgotten."
Goodyear first nicknamed one of its blimps the "Santa Claus
Express" in 1927 to spread holiday cheer across the skies of
America. The company has a long history of community involvement
and volunteerism within its corporate social responsibility
program, Goodyear Better Future. Goodyear Better Future initiatives
and Goodyear Airship Operations support collaborative programs,
such as the Toys for Tots Foundation and community organizations to
drive positive outcomes for the community.
Founded in 1948, it is the mission of the U.S. Marine Corps
Reserve Toys for Tots Program to collect new, unwrapped toys during
October, November and December and distribute these toys as
Christmas gifts to less fortunate children in the community in
which the campaign is conducted.
The Ohio Goodyear airship base is located at 841 Wingfoot Lake
Rd., Mogadore, Ohio 44260.
The Florida Goodyear airship base is located at 1500 NE 5th Ave,
Pompano Beach, FL 33060.
Donation details are available online at www.goodyearblimp.com,
