Straight Blast Gym collects goodies for Toys for Tots
Dec 23, 2015
For the fourth year in a row, Straight Blast Gym East Coast rallied its members and their families to raise donation for the Toys for Tots charity.
The gym offers self-defense, martial arts, and various fitness programs for youth, teens, and adults.
The gym's members were able to fill more than four of the charity’s jumbo boxes worth of toys for children in need.
“Trying to surpass last year’s donation was a tall order, but once again everyone really rose to the occasion to help out kids in the community," Straight Blast Gym East Coast owner Stephen Whittier said. "We’re very proud of that.”
To help generate additional contributions, the school also offered membership incentives to any prospective members who brought in a toy.
