NFL ALUM RAY CAROLIN TO DONATE OVER
14,000 TOYS TO TOYS FOR TOTS BEFORE
GARTH BROOKS' SUNDAY CONCERT
 

 
NASHVILLE, December 17, 2010- NFL Alum Ray Carolin will donate over 14,000 toys to Toys for Tots this Sunday, Dec 19 at 4:00 PM. As you may know Toys for Tots has been stationed in front of the Brigestone Arena for all of the Garth Brooks concerts. Two weeks ago Garth asked his assistant to call his buddy Ray Carolin in Phoenix, AZ to see if he could help with the U.S. Marine Toys for Tots drive in Middle Tennessee.

Brooks knew that Carolin had a passion for supporting the military as he once served as vice-president of the Arizona Chapter of the National Football League Alumni organization, a non-profit organization comprised of former professional football players and coaches dedicated to their charity “Caring for Kids.”

Ray called the CEO’s of a number of children’s toy and sporting goods companies, and Spalding Sporting Goods, a division of Fruit of the Loom answered his call for a Christmas miracle. Spalding has donated 14,616 toys that will arrive by semi-trailer truck accompanied by Santa Claus at Bridgestone Arena at 4:00 PM this Sunday afternoon where they will be delivered to the U.S. Marines just in time for Christmas.

“I was honored that Garth would think of having his assistant call me” he said. “ The opportunity to help Garth in his efforts to help our buddies in the U.S. Marine Corp. and their Toys for Tots program is an honor.” said Carolin.

“What Spalding has done is absolutely awesome and I am honored to have played a very small part in touching the lives of so many children in Middle Tennessee. Spalding’s generosity and incredible spirit of giving makes this a very special Christmas for me and my family.”

Carolin and his NFL Alumni buddies along with the Buffalo Bills cheerleaders will be leaving Nashville heading for Iraq and Afghanistan. They will be embarking on their sixth USO -Armed Forces Entertainment sponsored trip visiting U.S. military bases overseas.

The drop will take place in front of the Bridgestone Arena on 5th St. Media should arrive on site Sunday, December 19th at 3:30pm. The trucks will arrive at 4pm.

No core country artist has crossed over more titles to AC. Rogers has scored eight AC No. 1s. Rogers: "I remember when [the AC charts] were established, I thought it was so cool.

That's always been my slam in country music, that I was never a true country artist, even though &q

They call her..The Bare Naked Bandit..29 yr Old Lee Grace Doherty

ARRESTED now in Colorado...but what a story and week for 2 brothers and their stripper sister! Text messages and tweets by three fugitive siblings who shot at a police officer and robbed a bank reveal a dangerous mindset and a firm bond between the siblings, "We've certainly seen their mindset when...
