You Can Still Donate!


THANK YOU to everyone who came out to Fashion Square Mall on Friday and donated to the Charlottesville Toy Lift!

If you were not able to make it on Friday, you can still make a donation – check out the Toy Life Wish List!

Toy Lift is the signature event of Toy Lift Charities, collecting toys and books for local area children! Toy Lift began in 1988 when founder Tom Powell perched himself eighty feet up in a bucket truck at the corner of Hydraulic Rd. & 29. He stayed there until people donated 1,000 toys, which he then distributed to local children. Since then, Toy Lift has grown into a huge annual community event, raising over 17,000 toys and books, helping over 3,500 local area children annually.

We hope you’ll join our Charlottesville Radio Group stations in supporting this great cause; help us put smiles on the faces  of our local kids!
