 When you pass by little children in the poorest neighborhoods around Puerto Vallarta, don’t you some times want to reach out and hug them? Just for a moment you really feel you would like to do something to show them the world has a little room in its heart even for them. But you just don’t know how to do it.
Well here’s the deal that makes it easy for you. When you buy a ticket for the Toys for Tots Gala dinner you are actually buying thirteen toys to be delivered on Three Kings Day. Gifts that will bring a rare moment of unexpected delight to the poorest children in small villages around Puerto Vallarta. And if you take part in the Golf Scramble as well, you will be sending a message of love to no less than thirty three children. Children for whom the message of the Three Kings has perhaps so far been a fantasy Last year’s Toys for Tots program helped raise enough money to provide 8,000 toys. This year we would like to reach the 10,000 mark. Only the great generosity of our sponsors and enthusiastic community participation allows us to set such an ambitious target. So, we hope to greet all our old friends and welcome many more new faces this year.
The cost of the Golf Scramble plus Gala Dinner is U.S.$165 ( 1800 pesos). Dinner Only costs U.S.$65 (700 pesos). Tickets are available at Marina Vallarta and Vista Vallarta Golf Course pros clubs: CasaMagna Marriott Puerto Vallarta Resort concierge: Jerry Lafferty, Navy League, phone 221-6156: and the International Friendship Club phone 222-5466.
Toys for Tots is sponsored by the Navy League, CasaMagna Marriott, Vista Vallarta Golf Club, Continental Airlines, Coldwell Banker Real Estate, Intenational Friendship Club, TaylorMade/Adidas and U.S. consular Agent Kelly Trainor and close to a hundred other local sponsors.
