The holiday season is in full swing and that means it’s time again for one of my favourite things, TATTOOS FOR TOYS! Haven’t heard of it? Well let me fill you in. My good friend Derek Lewis of Lewis Family Tattoo Co. is a pretty awesome guy not to mention a crazy talented tattoo artist who happens to have an insanely huge heart. Well, every year he puts on an event in support of SickKids Hospital right here in Toronto and collects toys for the kids who are in the hospital during the holidays.
Wanna help out? It’s pretty easy! All you need to do is drop off a new unwrapped toy to Lewis Family Tattoo Co. at 2235 Dundas St. West (Tuesday – Saturday) and as a thank you they will enter your name into a random draw for your chance to win 1 of 2 prizes of $300 worth of tattoo work.
So when you’re out an about at the mall doing your Christmas shopping think of the kids who will be spending their Christmas in the hospital instead of at home with their families. Pick up an extra gift for them and be the reason that they smile on Christmas morning. As Derek said “In times like these the parents of these kids are preoccupied with other life issues to manage festive gifts or cheer. So I’m calling on all of you. If we all just pulled together and dropped of one toy, it would make a HUGE difference!”. Derek is totally right and together we can make a difference, so let’s start now!
