Preston Nissan is Official Drop Site for Toys for Tots!
·2 min read
The Holiday Season is upon us and Christmas is fast approaching! It is truly a wonderful time of year for most people; however, those families that may be slightly less fortunate may not have enough money to buy gifts for their children on Christmas. That is where Toys for Tots comes in. The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation provides the funding and support needed for a successful annual toy collection and distribution campaigns. They were founded by Major Bill Hendricks of the USMCR back in 1947. That makes this Christmas giving-tradition nearly 70 years old! At this point they have given out nearly a half a billion toys to less fortunate children all over the United States.
Coming directly from the official Toys for Tots website, they say, “Local campaigns are conducted annually in over 700 communities covering all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Ahead of the campaign, part of their job is to find businesses and companies that are willing to become drop sites for toys each year. This year, Preston Nissan is one of the few drop sites on the Eastern Shore. Preston Nissan is accepting unwrapped and unopened toys through December 22nd. That deadline will be here before you know it so come out to the Preston Autoplex – specifically the Nissan building – with your toy in order to donate. If you are not in position to donate, but would instead like to request a toy for your little boy or girl you can do that on the Toys for Tots website. But you need to hurry because there are different deadlines to request a toy based on which county you live in.
We hope that those who are fortunate enough will donate a toy because we are trying very hard to fill up one of our new 2015 Nissan NV200’s with donated toys. The employees of the Preston Autoplex have been supporting the toy drive, but we need your help! If you can afford an extra toy, we ask that you please donate it to our Toys for Tots drive before December 22, 2014. If we can manage to fill the truck we will certainly be posting a picture on Preston Nissan’s Facebook page to show how selfless the people in our area are, so make sure to bring in your donation then keep an eye on our page! Merry Christmas!
“We’re in the middle of the deadliest drug epidemic in our history - and much of it starts with improper use of prescription painkillers. I believe we need to start teaching our kids these pills are basically synthetic heroin and WILL lead to heroin addiction.” - Joe Gamble, Talbot County Sheriff Talbot Goes Purple is a program meant to engage the community and help youth stand up against substance abuse. Through the creation of purple clubs in our local high schools, students will learn that they don’t need drugs or alcohol. We encourage our community and youth to ‘Go Purple’ as a sign that they take a stand against substance abuse. Our community needs to start having a conversation about the abuse of prescription drugs. 91 Americans die every day from an opioid overdose, and it is our goal to rid Talbot County of this issue. Talbot Goes Purple is a campaign where the Talbot County Sheriff’s Office and Tidewater Rotary team up with Talbot County Schools and the Mid-Shore Community Foundation to spread awareness of how dangerous it is to abuse prescription drugs. On September 19th and September 20th, former NBA basketball player Chris Herren will be running two in-school assemblies in addition to a community event at 7:00 p.m. on September 19th. Chris Herren nearly ruined his life with prescription drug abuse that slowly turned into a heroin addiction. Herren can speak firsthand about how awful drug abuse is and how dangerous it could be to your life. Herren has now been clean and sober for almost a decade and spreads his story to communities in need. We are looking forward to hearing and learning from his story. This September, Talbot Goes Purple and we hope that you can join in celebrating sobriety and solidarity against heroin use.
The Preston Automotive Group is united for a cure the entire month of October, as our stores are banding together in a combined effort to support the fight against breast cancer. Our goal is to not only spread awareness of breast cancer and how to prevent it but also to raise funds for the research and development of a cure for this disease. We are partnering with the American Cancer Society to battle this illness that 1 in 8 women will face in their lifetime. We hope this cause will aid those who have fallen victim to breast cancer by funding research for a cure. During the month of October, your friends at the Preston Automotive Group will be giving away a free pink frog with every purchase of a new or used vehicle. These pink frogs are exclusive limited edition versions of everyone's favorite car dealing amphibian. So hurry in and help spread awareness of breast cancer and the importance of regular check-ups. Early detection is critical when fighting breast cancer, and by spreading awareness, we hope that people do what they can to get checked out for this illness during the United for a Cure event. From October 19th to October 22nd, your friends at the Preston Autoplex will be donating $100 to the American Cancer Society with every single new vehicle purchased. This money is donated to fund research efforts to attempt to find a way we can rid the world of this terrible disease. These financial efforts are also to help spread awareness of breast cancer and how important it is to take preventative measures. Help us, and the millions of volunteers nationwide, in raising funds for breast cancer research, life-saving education, and essential patient services for those suffering from the illness. Your friends at the Preston Autoplex are United for a Cure!
