Toys for Tykes pool tournament in CT earns Vernon Volunteer Fire Dept. $12k+ in donations
Daryl Turbacuski goes undefeated to claim 96-entrant Toys for Tykes 20th annual event. In a ‘first-come, first-served’ kind of way, the Toys for Tykes program, run by the Vernon, CT Volunteer Fire Department and supported by (among other efforts) an annual pool tournament held at Buckland Billiards in Vernon, has become (here) a ‘poster child’ for a number of Christmas-season programs being held, annually, nation-wide. Toys for Tykes is just one name used in an effort to bring Christmas gifts to underprivileged children, including (among others) Toys for Kids, Santa’s Workshop, Angel Tree, and the acknowledged ‘grand-daddy’ of them all, Toys for Tots, which traces its origins to a grassroots effort by a Marine Corps reservist and his wife in 1947, eventually expanding to become a nationwide, registered charitable program run by the US Marine Corps Reserve. Early on, it was Walt Disney who designed the first Toys for Tots poster and created the iconic, three-car, red train logo. Toys for Tots has grown from its somewhat modest efforts to operate approximately 870 local chapters and campaigns, nation-wide.
