The 6th Annual Racers for Tots Christmas Party, held at the South Fayette Fire Hall in Cuddy on December 11, 2004, was another big success. Folks enjoyed good food and entertainment provided by D.J. Rookie Rick, the Gunslingers & Buffo the Clown, as well as a cash bar, dancing, several raffles, and a Chinese auction.
Awards
were given to several folks in recognition of their special contribution
to Racers for Tots this year. Jimmy Steigerwald, founder of Racers
for Tots, received a special sword from local Marine representatives
for his fundraising efforts. Rex King, who won this year's Driver of
the Year Contest, received a Racers for Tots jacket and plaque at the
party.
Money and hundreds of toys were collected for kids at the party, capping off this year's fundraising efforts in a big way. The racing community really showed their generosity and support for area kids who could use a little help during the holidays. As volunteers and Marine representatives boxed up the toys, they targeted some of the toys directly for local Pittsburgh communities hit the hardest by Ivan flooding this past September.
