Default Toys For Tots Bike Drive



Please join the FedEx pilot group as we bring hope to less fortunate children this Christmas by purchasing new bicycles for Toys For Tots. Many of us feel blessed monetarily even in these difficult economic times and would like to help. The problem is that we don't know exactly how to get involved.

This campaign makes it easy for you to make a difference:

  • You donate online. (Or by mail, click here for details.)
  • We buy bikes at a bulk rate and tax free.
  • FedEx mechanics and other volunteers assemble the bikes.
  • Toys For Tots distributes them to needy children for Christmas.

Click here to donate or learn more.

toysfortotsbikedrive.bbnow.org

Thank you for your consideration,

First Officer David M.
Toys For Tots Bike Drive Coordinator

My full name and email address are on the website. Feel free to call my VIPS cell number if you would like to get more involved or have questions or concerns that cannot be handled my email.

It's been my pleasure.

FedEx pilots, this is our fundraiser. Please help me get the message out by telling others about it, bumping this thread, and sharing on Facebook or Twitter. We are off to a good start, having raised nearly $5,000 of our $15,000 goal. If we reach or exceed our goal, over 200 bikes can be purchased for less fortunate children the Christmas.

Although this campaign is being promoted by the FedEx pilot group, anybody reading this thread can donate online.

Updates on our progress are available on the website.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sounds like a good cause, I left a small check in the box on the Flight Coordination counter last night ...

Don't let there be any misinterpretation of your comment, "done" , though!

The campaign is still going strong. We are about $7000 short of our goal with 7 days to go until our December 15th deadline for online donations.

Anybody can donate.... however, FedEx pilots, this is OUR campaign. Please donate today by clicking here.

Please spread the word.... time is running out! See website for details and updates.
