Dave Fafara with the Toy Lift Charities
Dave Fafara with the Toy Lift Charities

Dave Fafara with the Toy Lift Charities stopped by the Community Cubbie on 97.5 3WV with that latest on this year’s Toy Lift; what day, where, and how you can help!

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.
