The goal of this cruise-in is to raise awareness and contributions for Toys for Tots while also giving back to families in the area who may not be able to afford Christmas for their children. “Many of us have grown up seeing Toys for Tots in action across Mississippi,” said Emily Davis, the marketing manager for Pappi’s Garage. “By supporting this great cause, we’re making sure that children in the area will have presents come Christmas Day.” With this cruise-in being the last one of the year, Pappi’s wants everyone to come out, support a great cause, give back to struggling families in the area, and enjoy the classic cars and hot rods from all over the north Mississippi area that will be present. “It warms my heart to see people come out and support these charities every month,” said Davis. “We can see the difference we are making in the community, and next year we plan to make the cruise-ins better than ever!” For questions or concerns, call (662) 260-4949, email info@pappisgarage.com, or visit www.pappisgarage.com.
