It's Christmas time again and we are excited to announce our annual Toys For Kids Drive!

Official Giving Page: Toys For Kids 2020 - GoFundMe

UPDATE: GOFUNDME does not allow REWARD levels anymore so we will detail them here in this thread towards the bottom! You give and you get tickets to win prizes!

It's that time of year for giving and our members at www.reef2reef.com love to give! If you are a seasoned veteran of REEF2REEF then you know we help unfortunate children get gifts, clothing and food at Christmas time. Every Christmas for the past 12 years we have had a toy donation drive and every year the members of R2R and the reefing community step up and give to make Christmas dreams come true! Last year alone we raised over $30,000 for toys, clothes, food & necessities for kids and their families all over the world!

Being a pastor of a local church in my community gives us the platform to not only see the need around us but to be able to do something about it! We are able to make sure that all families are in need and that the kids really wouldn't have much for Christmas otherwise. We are able to buy all the gifts with no taxes because we are a non-profit at the church. That saves us hundreds of dollars every year.

We are also very excited to announce this year that we are once again partnering with the GVM Orphanage, Smokey Mountain Children's Home, Grace Alive Church and The Awakening Church to help us disperse gifts, food, clothing and necessities to kids and families all over the world.

Link to last year's drive: Click Here

Will you help us reach our goal this year? We can do it! There is nothing that makes you feel better than to give to someone in need. All the proceed go directly to the Toy Drive!

Goal is $20,000

I would LOVE for us to reach the goal of $20,000 this year! We can do it! There is nothing that makes you feel better than to give to someone in need.

Like I see there are 5-6 days only left to the end of the fundraising, so can I ask for something (if isn't too late and too much for asking that ?




everyone can put that in his signature and everyone who see it, can help a bit, it was very hard to me to see the thread if I wasn't checking the daily polls (which not everyone check and see), I'll make that text here colorful and bolded to can everyone after me to can see it and read it!!! Please R2R members, think about, PLEASE

Everyone can include that in his signature and most of the members will be able to read it!!! And if you make it with COLORS will be more visible to most and can touch them hearts. I'll try to help much as possible how you can easy do that: Go on your profile icon "ACCOUNT" (top near right corner) and click on it -> from the dropdown menu select "SIGNATURE" -> on the menu there select the brackets " [ ] " to can change the mod of typing "code" -> copy the text from below and paste it as it is.
