POMONA >> The California Highway Patrol is teaming up with a popular car show in Pomona Wednesday to collect toys and gifts for local children in need.
Officials will gather toys for their annual “CHIPS for Kids” program from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. during the Prolong Twilight Cruise at the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum at Fairplex in Pomona, 1101 W. McKinley Ave., Building 3A, CHP officials said in a written statement.
“Entrants are encouraged to bring an unwrapped toy or gift to donate, and CHIPS notes that there is a big need for gifts for teens,” according to the statement.
Walgreens representatives will be on-hand with $10 gifts available for those who wish to purchase one and donate it at the event.
To kick off the drive, car show sponsor Prolong Super Lubricants is donating $500 worth of toys.
The popular Prolong Twilight Cruise generally attracts more than 250 street rods, hot rods and muscle cars, organizers said.
