Enrollment for popular car charity event opens

Enrollment is now available for the 2023 Jeeps on the Run Toys for Tots event.

This remarkable run attracts droves of Jeeps, thousands of enthusiastic participants, and an impressive number of toy and cash contributions, reaching into the tens of thousands.

Jeeps on the Run has amassed nearly $2 million in funds since its establishment, as stated by JOTR's President, Mike Missak. The event's planners collaborate with the U.S. Marines Toys for Tots program, aimed at aiding families in McHenry and Lake counties, benefiting approximately 40,000 families up to the present time. After the run concludes, the monetary contributions are utilized to purchase supplementary toys.

Extra funds are generated through registration fees, sales of raffle tickets, sponsorships, and direct donations. Individuals interested in participating in the raffle this year have the opportunity to acquire tickets at a price of $20 each. These tickets present a chance to win a pristine 2024 Jeep Wrangler, generously contributed by the event's main sponsor, Ray Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Fox Lake. Corporate gifts and donations are always welcome at such events.

The Jeeps on the Run Toys for Tots event occurs annually at the start of December, falling on December 3rd this year. The cost of registration stands at $30 per Jeep, with passenger counts not influencing the fee. Jeep owners of all models are eligible to register for the ride, and registrations will continue to be accepted until the event reaches its maximum capacity.
