MORENO VALLEY>> Canyon Crest Country Club hosted “Drive for Toys” on Monday, Dec. 19, for Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Redlands-Riverside. Each player was asked to bring an unwrapped toy valued at $10 or more. All toys were donated to the Club for youth in need this holiday season. “We are also very excited to be partnering with the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Redlands- Riverside for our toy drive,” said Mike Drake, head golf professional. “This is an event we hold annually that has been well supported by our members, but we are trying to grow it with the help of the Boys & Girls Club. We are a private club, but for this event, we are open to anyone who wants to come play golf and bring a toy to help the cause. We hope for this to be our most successful toy drive yet and the beginning of a promising partnership with the Boys & Girls Club.” Tee times were available between 8 a.m. and noon. Cost was $50 per person and included golf, cart and range balls. A beverage and barbecue cart were also available. “We’re grateful to Canyon Crest Country Club for thinking of our kids during the holidays,” said Boys & Girls Clubs CEO P.T. McEwen. “Drive for Toys is a great way to help kids and have fun.”
