- On Sunday, September 21st, Marine Toys for Tots returned to the racetrack with Richard Childress Racing (RCR), proudly sponsoring Austin Dillon’s No. 3 Chevrolet in New Hampshire. But this race wasn't just about speed— it was about heart, hope, and the power of possibility through the impact of Toys for Tots and supporters across the Nation.
As Austin Dillon revved up for race day, his car carried more than horsepower—it carried a mission. The No. 3 Toys for Tots Chevrolet represented Marine Toys for Tots' unwavering commitment to delivering toys, books, and resources to children living in poverty. Each lap was a testament to the belief that every child deserves the chance to dream big and chase brighter tomorrows.
With every lap, we spotlighted the urgent need to fuel children’s journeys with toys, books, and educational resources that open doors to brighter futures. Every gift delivered represents hope in action—showing children they matter, they're valued, and their futures hold unlimited potential.
Partnerships with organizations such as Richard Childress Racing are absolutely vital to advancing Toys for Tots’ year-round mission. “While many recognize Toys for Tots as the Nation’s flagship children's Christmastime charity, our work continues throughout the year—delivering toys, books, comfort and emergency assistance to families in crisis. High-profile collaborations like this amplify our message that childhood poverty doesn't take a break, and neither do we,” said LtGen Jim Laster, USMC (Retired), CEO of the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation.
"Racing reaches millions of fans who understand perseverance and the drive to succeed," LtGen Laster continued. "When Austin raced the track in our colors, he carried our message to new audiences nationwide—audiences who know what it means to never give up.”
Together, we turned every lap into lasting joy. With every donation, we fueled futures and crossed the finish line toward brighter tomorrows filled with possibilities and promises for disadvantaged children across the Nation.
