Toys for Children

With the Holiday season getting closer, South Texas Speedway has been looking at ways to give back to the youth in our community. After reviewing several options, we have decided to focus on the patients at Driscoll Children's Hospital. It is hard to think about spending the holidays in the hospital, but Driscoll Children's has gone above and beyond to make the children have a great and comfortable stay, especially during the holidays. Our hope is that the drivers, fans and staff of South Texas Speedway can come together and put a big dent in the hospital's "wish list". I am including a picture of the wish list. There is a wide array of items on it varying from infant needs to adolescent and school-aged children's wishes. If everyone brought one toy, the wish list would be knocked out in no time! Let's get together and help make the patients of Driscoll Children's Hospital's holiday season a bit brighter with some awesome toys! Please contact me if you have any questions! We will be collecting the weekend of the Shootout in December and can arrange for other drop offs if you can't make it out. You can also drop off any donations at the Miracle Method- 5835 Patton here in Corpus! We plan to have a few drivers drop off the gifts and hopefully visit with some of the children on our allotted drop off date. Thanks for your help! Please share this post to help get the word out :) ???
