Interested in free admission to the USS Midway or entering a raffle to win credit toward a self storage rental unit? All you have to do is participate in Toys for Tots.
San Diego Self Storage (SDSS) is sponsoring its 13th annual Toys for Tots drive at all of its locations in the greater San Diego area. The toy drive goes from now until December 19.
According to SDSS Managing Partner, J. Terry Aston, "We're proud to sponsor this effort on behalf of the children within the communities we serve and this drive marks our 13th consecutive year of participation; our network of neighborhood self storage facilities makes it convenient for all San Diegans to get involved by dropping off toys at any of our locations located within close proximity to work or home. This campaign is one of our favorite non-profit collection drives that we conduct throughout the year."
The Marine kickoff event aboard the USS Midway will be on Saturday, December 3, 2011. It will start at 11:00 a.m. and go until 3:00 p.m. Admission to the event is free with a new, unwrapped toy. Refreshments, prizes, and a raffle will be part of the activities aboard the US Midway.
The USS Midway is a museum where you can see the engine room of the aircraft carrier, crew sleeping quarters, pilots' ready rooms, flight control and the bridge, and even the ship's jail. Enjoy flight simulators, seeing short films, sitting in an airplane cockpit, and the "Ejection Seat Theater." The USS Midway is the longest-serving Navy aircraft carrier of the 20th century. Sand Diego Self Storage will have a booth at this event.
SDSS will continue its collection at the San Diego Charger home game on Sunday, December 11, at the Qualcomm stadium where you can drop off a toy at their booth at the stadium.
During the drive, each SDSS facility will conduct raffles for a $100 credit toward a tenant's rental (either new or existing). To enter the raffle, drop off a new, unwrapped toy at any of the SDSS locations. The toy drive and raffle will end on December 19 at 6:00 p.m. Each location will hold a drawing for the raffle winner on December 20.
