Once again, 97.5 3WV is an official collection point for Toy Lift with the Minutemen Motorcycle Club, helping to put smiles on the faces of boys and girls in Central Virginia this holiday season!
You can drop off your new, unwrapped toys here at the studios at 1140 Rose Hill Drive, Monday through Thursday, 8am until 5pm through December 4th.
All the toys stay local. The families Toy Lift serves come from Albemarle, Buckingham, Charlottesville, Fluvanna, Greene, and Nelson. The toys collected from the Toy Lift event go directly back to those families.
On Friday, December 5th, the official day of Toy Lift 2025, the Minutemen MC will deliver the toys they’ve collected from their many drop off points in the area to Fashion Square Mall.
You can join the ride! They’ll be meeting at Riverside North at Forest Lakes Shopping Center at 10:00am on Friday, December 5th. They’ll ride out at 11:30am and deliver the toys to Fashion Square Mall.
Cost is $10/rider and a new, unwrapped toy.
Toy Lift began in 1988 when founder Tom Powell decided to perch 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 with food, entertainment, and media coverage, raising over 20,000 toys each year.
