Beep! Beep! The Local 10 Big Bus Toy Express is all fueled up and ready to crisscross South Florida on Friday, Dec. 13. In its 11th season, the double-decker bus will be decked out with holiday decorations, children’s choirs and live music.
Since 2014, Local 10 and Big Bus Miami have teamed up to make holiday giving easy, convenient and fun. In that time, Local 10 viewers have donated approximately 153,000 new, unwrapped toys to benefit the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program.
This year, Morning News Co-Anchor Eric Yutzy and Chief Certified Meteorologist Betty Davis will serve as the event hosts. Eric will get things started bright and early in Miami-Dade. Betty is forecasting sunshine throughout as she takes on the afternoon leg of the trip in Broward county. They’ll be joined by U.S. Marines in full-dress uniforms and special guests at every stop. From Kendall to Coral Springs, the Big Bus Toy Express will be running all day, from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., collecting your holiday gifts.
If you’d like to start giving early, you can make a donation here to the local Toys for Tots chapter. If you prefer to give in person, we invite you to visit our Big Bus partner, Bayside Marketplace, located at 401 Biscayne Blvd. in Miami, to donate a new toy on Dec. 7, from 2 p.m. – 5 p.m. You will receive free prizes, including an 8X10 photo with Santa. You can also wait for the big event and join us at any of the following stops on Dec. 13.
