# Our Toys for Tots YoYo Drive is Back!

Back in 2015 our very good friend ‘Gibb’ had an idea and reached out to us about making a donation to Toys for Tots and we couldn’t have been more excited. Every year we had matched his donation and have donated between 50 to 100 yo-yos each year! Then he had a great idea - what if we open it up to the community and try to make it even bigger! In 2019 we donated over 500 yoyos!

After a bit of a hiatus we are finally bringing this back and invite you to help support the cause!

Together YoYoExpert and Gibb have teamed up to make your donation really count.

### **For every $8 donation made we will donate a total of 3 of our new [SnapBack Beginner YoYo](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/products/snapback-yoyo-by-yoyoexpert)!**

We have both a public and anonymous option for your donations. Public donations will be listed and thanked by name in our final announcement. Otherwise your name will be left anonymous if you choose that option instead.

Special thanks to Gibb and YOU for making this possible! Let’s make this a big year! Join us now! Last day to donate is December 5th!

## **GIVEAWAY BONUS:**

We will be randomly picking two lucky donations to win something!

- 1x grand prize Titanium Metavity from YoYoFactory
- 1x Runner Up will get a $50 YoYoExpert Gift Card to use online!

> **[DONATION - Toys for Tots 2023](https://yoyoexpert.com/collections/new-releases/products/donation-toys-for-tots-2022)**
>
> By adding this product to your cart & checking out you are making a donation of $10.00 which will result in the donation of 3 yo-yos on your behalf to Toys for Tots.

Can this be pinned along with the sale post? Or at least linked in there? Such a great effort I’d hate to see it fall to the bottom.

Is the Gibb the same Gibb that was a FL states sponsor (“Gibb: yeah that Gibb!”)?

This was me the entire contest when sponsors were read out 😅
