Chris Martz 3rd Annual Toy Drive for Ronald Mc Donald House
Now through December 15, 2008It's that time of year again! Christmas is around the corner and it's time for the boxes to be set out in the community of San Antonio and New Braunfels for
Chris Martz 3rd Annual Toy & Gift Drive for
Ronald McDonald House.
This began three years ago when Chris (now a junior at
Health Careers High School in San Antonio) volunteered at the local
Ronald McDonald House. Chris had been injured in a auto accident in 2003 that left him with a
Traumatic Brain Injury. Our family stayed with him close by at the local
Ronald Mc Donald House in Reno, Nevada while Chris recovered. It came to hold a special place in our family's hearts.
Each year families spend their holidays as residents of the three local
Ronald McDonald Houses. Parents, siblings as well as some of the child patients currently receiving treatments for life-threatening diseases experience joy during their holidays as a result of
Chris' Toy Drive.
Please help Chris by donating or giving a monetary donation. If your check is for toys only, make the check out to Chris, his elves will shop for the toys and provide you with a tax deductible receipt from
RMH. If you would like to make a donation directly to the
Ronald Mc Donald House, please make the checks payable to them and we will also make sure you receive your receipt directly from them.
After the toys are collected, they are brought to
Health Careers High School where elves wrap and label the toys for
RMH and then deliver to them by December 17, 2008.
Local businesses including
RE/MAX North-San Antonio,
Exit Realty-North San Antonio,
Stewart Title,
Land America/Lawyer's Title &
Independence Title support Chris' efforts to bring joy to so many families at the holidays.
For more information, call Chris at (210) 452-3442 or (210) 240-7596 for more information. Please mail your checks to Chris Martz, 2320 Oak Pebble, New Braunfels, TX 78132
A special thank you to all that participated in my son Christopher's annual toy drive to benefit the children of Ronald McDonald House in San Antonio. His goal of providing Christmas to all three local Ronald McDonald Houses was reached. Donations exceeded expectations and we are all grateful for your participation. I would also like to thank Exit Realty, Land America/Lawyer's Title, Stewart Title, Independence Title as well as the hundreds of volunteers that made this event possible. Over 100 local area students participated in the Chris Martz Toy Drive. A special thank you to Health Careers High School in San Antonio for providing volunteers as well as teaching/administrative staff to supervise volunteers. We couldn't do it without you! Thank you for allowing our family to "pay it forward".
