Evans Tire collects 300-plus toys for charity

Jan. 3, 2011

Evans Tire & Service Center Inc. based in Carlsbad, Calif., gathered more than 300 toys during its 2010 Marine Toys for Tots campaign.

On December 23, Evans Tire loaded all the toys onto their tire delivery truck and delivered them to Camp Pendleton, San Diego County, Calif., the major West Coast base of the United States Marine Corps.

“Evans Tire employees really supported this campaign, and it was great to see so many generous customers contribute to this great Christmas mission,” says John Andonian, president. “We can’t wait to do this again next year with even more Evans family and customer support.” The company thanked all those who donated toys with a free oil change valued at $29.95.
