More than 14,000 toys donated to Toys for Tots will be delivered Sunday afternoon (Dec. 19) at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena,
where
Garth Brooks is continuing a series of nine concerts through Wednesday. A Toys
for Tots donation center was stationed in front of the venue when Brooks began the series with two shows Thursday night. The
massive donation was organized by Ray Carolin, one of the singer's friends who previously served as vice president of the
Arizona chapter of the NFL Alumni Association. After Brooks' assistant contacted him, Carolin contacted Spalding Sporting
Goods, which responded by donating 14,616 toys that will arrive with Santa Claus at the arena. The U.S. Marines will deliver
the toys to deserving children just in time for Christmas.
