The 20th Annual Toys for Tots Ultimate Jam is Saturday Dec. 6th.

What can be more fun than playing ultimate for a good cause!
This event will consist of ultimate, beverage specials, a charity auction, and live music all at a family friendly location that everyone can enjoy.

The Ultimate:
Starting at 1pm on December 6th the field will be setup and ready for play.  Pick-up ultimate will be the format allowing you to join in at anytime and jump out at anytime.  Bring a white and a dark shirt and jump on either team.  Play all day and into the night or just play until your toes get cold or until you need a drink.
Play will continue into the dark and under the lights until the players drift back inside for the auction.

The Auction:
Around 5:00pm the auction will begin consisting typically of ultimate gear (discs, t-shirts), miscellaneous sport memorabilia, occasional rec-room decorations, and usually a bottle or two of some fine and not so fine spirits.  Of course we are taking auction item donations as well.  If you have anything you think would be good for the auction - bring it!  Anything that can raise more for the cause is worth it.

The Cost:
A new unwrapped toy or donation of roughly $15 or more to be given directly to Toys for Tots.  Please do not feel that you cannot come because you don't have time to go Toy shopping as Toys for Tots can and is happy to purchase Toys for good prices.
EVERY $ / Toy raised goes directly to Toys for Tots!

The Cause:
Toys for Tots of course - Again EVERY $ / Toy raised goes directly to Toys for Tots!  With the state of the economy Toys for Tots donations are looking to be down - help them out!!

Over the first 19 years we've raised over $25,000 in toys and cash and we look forward to continually helping out this cause.
