Salina Post
This Christmas season, Eagle Media radio stations are collaborating with local nonprofits to give toys to children in the inaugural "Eagle Elf Run."
Eagle Media is calling all "Eagle Elves" to help our Salina radio stations and nonprofits, stuff the Elf Mobile on Saturday, December 13 and Sunday, December 14 at the Walmart Supercenter on 2900 S. 9th St.
Eagle Media will be collecting toys to be delivered to children in the community this Christmas by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Salina, CAPS, and DVACK.
"This is how we keep kids smiling this Christmas, by showing how kind our community truly is," said Chris Cadle, Program Director for Eagle Media. "As a grown-up who was once a kid in need, I can tell you that you truly can make a difference in a life with a single gift. There were times when I was a kid that presents from organizations were the only gifts we got. I just want to pay it forward and help everyone we can this Christmas!"
You can bring a toy or shop from anywhere and/or you can drop off cash, and the elves on site will shop for you.
On site there will be hot chocolate available from Mahaska, games/prizes from Arby's, a raffle for prizes and much more for both days. The Coke Bear will make an appearance and take pictures with people, alongside Frosty the Snowman and Santa.
After the two days of stuffing the Elf Mobile with toys are over, Eagle Media will do the "Eagle Elf Run" from Walmart to the radio station (1825 S. Ohio), with the help of escorts from the VFW and Legion Riders, Salina Jeepers Club and anyone else who wants to join in!
The Eagle Elf Run will take place at around 5:00 pm on Sunday the 14th.
