Toys also may be shipped to Goodyear's hangars through Dec. 3 for contactless donation. Donated toys must be new and in the original packaging to be accepted.
"The enduring partnership between Goodyear and the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve in support of the Marines Toys for Tots Program is a source of immense pride for us," Laura Duda, Goodyear's senior vice president and Chief Communications Officer, said.
"For the 13th consecutive year, we're excited to open the doors of our three blimp bases to the public, offering a unique chance to contribute to Toys for Tots while experiencing the magic of the Goodyear Blimp up close."
Since its founding in 1947, the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program has collected new, unwrapped toys throughout the months of October, November and December, distributing them as Christmas gifts to less fortunate children in the local community.
"As we celebrate our 76th year of assisting children in need, we are thrilled to welcome Goodyear back for their 13th year as a National Corporate Sponsor of the Marine Toys for Tots Program," retired Marine Colonel Ted Silvester, vice president of the Marines Toys for Tots Foundation, said.
"Their community service goals continue to align with those the Marine Corps has promoted for over seven decades through our Toys for Tots Program." Silvester concluded, "With their continued generous support, we will be able to fulfill the Christmas dreams of thousands of disadvantaged children who might otherwise be forgotten."
