Enbright Credit Union participates in 14th Annual Toy Field

Enbright Credit Union participates in the 14th Annual Toy Field

Enbright Credit Union has been busy this holiday season! With donations from Enbright’s members and auto dealer partners, Enbright Credit Union purchased boys’ and girls’ bikes, toys, and games for local children and senior citizens to open on Christmas morning! Starting as early as October, Enbright Credit Union promotes the Annual Toy Field that directly benefits the Salvation Army Nashville Area.

Hosted at Nissan Stadium, both businesses and individuals alike generously donated 1,000’s of toys, bikes, and games to the registered “angels” within Nashville and surrounding areas. With a goal to “Fill the Boat”, Salvation Army had a large speed boat in front of Nissan Stadium. This year, Enbright raised over $2,000 to purchase gifts for children and seniors, in hopes to meet that goal.

Enbright Credit Union, CEO, Ron Smith met with Jason ‘J-Mart’ Martin, and Ramon Foster on 104-5. The Zone to discuss Enbright Credit Union’s role and how important it is to give back to the local community. Enbright Credit Union has participated in the Salvation Army’s Annual Toy Field benefitting the Forgotten Angel Program for several years. J-Mart asked what keeps bringing Enbright back every year, Ron Smith replied “Credit Unions, that’s what we do, we give back to our community.”

When asked what his favorite must-have Christmas toy is, it is no surprise to those who know him, Ron replied: “A stick horse. I’ve always had a horse and wasn’t until my 30’s that I got a horse. Now I have 4 of them!”  

All the toys will be sent to The Salvation Army’s Christmas Joy Shop where registered families will visit later this month to pick out gifts for their kids. The Salvation Army will reach over 8,500 angels this season. Enbright Credit Union can only imagine the children’s happy glow on Christmas morning. Enbright Credit Union looks forward to participating again next year.

Merry Christmas!

THOUSANDS OF GIFTS COLLECTED AT TOY FIELD AT NISSAN STADIUM

NASHVILLE Cumulus Nashville radio stations 103-3 Country, 104-5 The Zone, 92Q, Super Talk 99.7 WTN and 95.5 NASH ICON collected thousands of toys and gifts for seniors in need at the 13th annual Toy Field presented by T-Mobile to benefit The Salvation Army’s Forgotten Angel Program at Nissan Stadium.

Cumulus Nashville thanked its generous listeners and client partners, including T-Mobile, Sudden Service Convenience Stores, Planet Fitness, State Water Heaters, Rhythm Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, Enbright Credit Union and Golden Oak Lending for helping make Toy Field a huge success. AAA Tennessee also generously donated $7,000 to the event.

This holiday, The Salvation Army will reach more angels than ever, including less fortunate children and the elderly. According to Major Ethan Frizzell, Area Commander – The Salvation Army Nashville Area Command, several hundreds of those “angels” will not be adopted. To ensure each child has a special Christmas, the Christmas Joy Shop will provide gifts.

“Throughout the years, the Cumulus Nashville listeners have been generous with their donations,” Frizzell said. “Today was a great day that will help create miracle moments for families in our community this holiday season.”
