S&S Tire joined forces with the U.S. Marine Corps for their annual Toys For Tots drive again in 2011.
Overall 56,000 toys were donated and went to children in 17 counties in the Bluegrass, twice as many kids received toys this year!
Thank you to everyone who participated and donated a toy this year to Toys For Tots. It was a HUGE Success!

“We are incredibly grateful to S&S for giving us the opportunity to help one another with donations of time, blood and money,” said William S. Reed, KBC President and CEO.
See the final standings below. In May, participating charities were awarded points for Kentucky Blood Center blood donations made in the name of the charity. The top two charities from each region win cash from S&S Tire – $3,500 for first place and $1,500 for second place. There was a tie for second place in the Lexington region and both charities will receive $1,500.
