HAULIN’ FOR THE HOLIDAYS

That’s A Wrap

4th Annual HAULIN’ FOR THE HOLIDAYS toy drive

The 4th annual Haulin’ for the Holidays results are remarkable. Thanks to a combined effort by corporate angel sponsors and individuals, we raised $50,000 in toys and supplies for the children served by 7 different nonprofits in Tennessee. Our beneficiaries include YES Youth Encouragement Services in Nashville, Hands Up! Jackson, FedExFamilyHouse in Memphis, Toys for Tots in Knoxville, East Side Elementary in Chattanooga, Chambliss Center in Chattanooga, and Metro Nashville Police Department’s Christmas Basket program.
