Welcome to Tow Trucks for Tots
 |
Tow Trucks for Tots is a non-profit organization made up of the towing community, its suppliers and the wonderful volunteers who raise toys for children during the holiday season. Tow Trucks For Tots has three main goals.
|
Tow Trucks for Tots was awarded the Guinness Book of World Records achievement for the world's largest tow truck parade in 2009.
Every 2nd Sunday in November, towing companies throughout the Midwest converge to Rockdale, IL (Hollywood Casino) and lineup for the world’s largest tow truck parade. The parade route is 42 miles long. It travels from Rockdale, IL to Toyota Park in Bridgeview, IL. At Toyota Park towing companies unload their collected toys into semi trucks to be distributed to needy children. Meanwhile back at Toyota Park the tow truck driver is given a free Tow Trucks For Tots T-Shirt, all are treated to lunch, live band and the camaraderie of their fellow towers.
During the months before the parade towers are encouraged to collect toys for children ages 0-18 years old. They do this by putting drop boxes at their places of businesses. Some even have large parties and fundraisers to collect toys. All parties and fundraisers are posted on our website and are open to the towing community and general public. Just check under the events section on our website.
All toy donations must be NEW and UNWRAPPED. Please NO GUNS, SWORDS, or STUFFED ANIMALS.
Your help is crucial to this programs success.
