About Haulin' for the Holidays Toy Drive
The idea for the Haulin’ for the Holidays is credited to Troy Dickens, general manager at Rush Enterprises.
Response to his initial suggestion was swift and enthusiastic. The foundation of generosity laid by long-time members of the Tennessee Trucking Association and others in the industry is a legacy the younger members of the TTA want to foster.
Young Professionals Council members have a passion for trucking and a passion for giving. Even though deliveries happen in December, donations are accepted all year long.
Become An Angel Sponsor for Haulin’ for the Holidays
The elves from the Young Professionals Council of the TTA have already been hard at work for the annual Haulin’ For Holidays!
We partner with several non–profit organizations across the state of TN to provide toys and clothing to children whose Christmas mornings would otherwise not be as bright. The Trucking community is a VERY generous community and we would be honored if your company would consider being an “Angel Sponsor” as we try to raise funds to purchase all the toys according to each nonprofit’s needs!
Corporate and/or Personal “Angel Sponsorships” suggestions are $2,500 and $5,000 this year. Can we count on your company to join us?
Become an angel sponsor today! To have your company invoiced email Cfoster@tntrucking.org or click here to contribute.
