‘Tis the season for helping those in need! The Tucson Racquet & Fitness Club’s “Hope and Healing for the Holidays Toy Drive” will be held from 5 – 7 p.m. on Thursday, December 14 and Thursday, December 21.
Santa Claus will even be there to receive any unwrapped toys for the drive. There are rumors a well-known local chef will be wearing the big red suit…
“In the spirit of the season we hope that everyone will join us in making the holidays bright for some very special kids,” said Rovella Ruscitti, the Tucson Racquet & Fitness Club food and beverage director.
The Hope and Healing for the Holidays toy drive is being held in partnership with the Children’s Advocacy Center of Southern Arizona. The advocacy center focuses on helping children who have been victims or witnesses to a crime. The toys will be distributed to the children the organization works with.
“Visit with Santa for some holiday cheer and get a bite to eat before exploring the beautiful holiday lights at nearby Winterhaven,” Ruscitti added.
