Oakland County Sportsmens Club hosts its 10th annual Toys for Tots Event, 1-9 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 6.
“This is the fifth year we’re going to perform at this great benefit,” said Phil Treais of The Phil Treais Group. “I look forward to starting off my holidays with this event. Not only is it a great time, but we really are able to collect a lot of toys for the kids.”
Live performers on two stages also include Targus, Skee Brothers, Charlie Martin & 2XL, Urban Nomads, Mule Drive, and Donde. Emcee is John O’Leary of 94.7 WCSX.
‘Each band plays an hour,? said Chris Morrisroe, of Chris Morrisroe Communications. ‘It’s a night of very eclectic music. You’ve got everything from rock to blues to country.?
Cover charge per person is one new unwrapped toy or a $10 donation. All contributions go to the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation.
‘The toys collected here locally are given to kids locally who wouldn’t have them otherwise,? Morrisroe said. ‘Toys for ages 1-16 years old, but the Marine Corps try to stay away from guns or violent toys.?
“This year more than ever, I believe the support of the community is needed to ensure some kids have a gift under the tree,” Treis said.
