4th Annual "Reindeer Rock" Distributed Toys To Over 500 Children!

 The fourth-annual “Reindeer Rock” holiday festival was a huge success, bringing cheer to underprivileged children of Las Vegas in one of the city’s largest toy distribution events.  Opening the doors of the Bill & Lillie Heinrich YMCA, “Reindeer Rock” distributed toy donations from the KLUC Chet Buchannan Morning Zoo Toy Drive to more than 500 children.

Comprised of over 250 volunteers and all locally donated toys, not only did children receive presents, but a full-on holiday party.  Dancing and live musical entertainment provided a hands-on, unforgettable experience. Amongst the 500 toys, Reindeer Rock gave away 62 bikes, which were raffled off throughout the day as an added Christmas surprise to lucky boys and girls. Families were also allowed the opportunity to get a family photo taken free of charge with this year’s guest of honor, Santa Claus!

“Over the past four years, ‘Reindeer Rock’ has delivered presents to more than 4,500 children.  We are grateful for our partnership with KLUC and the Chet Buchannan Morning Zoo toy drive who supplied ALL of the toys distributed today.

There is an overwhelming need to lend a hand to underprivileged families in the Las Vegas valley, particularly during the holidays, and volunteers dedicate their time and resources to ensure Christmas is merry for all.  The year-round planning for this special gift-giving experience aims to continuously grow “Reindeer Rock” to one day reach every underprivileged child in the Las Vegas region.
