Toy donation

This competition is a toy drive charity competition. Therefore, competitors need to bring an unwrapped toy to the competition. A single toy will get you into all the events. If you want to bring more toys, that's great.

Q : Are particular types of toys more in need than others?
A : The age groups that are in need of donations are the children from ages 0-2 and ages 15-17.

Q : What kinds of toys are not allowed?
A : Toys with military theme. Toys related to weapons/law enforcement type toys. Toys with candy. Used toys. No chemicals (i.e. experimental labs, acid, crystal projects, etc.).

Q : What kind of toys can I donate?
A : New, unwrapped toys preferably around the $10 or above price range. It is unsafe to distribute dangerous or dirty toys that could cause injury or illness to a child.

Q : Should I bring a DIY cube?
A : No. These toys will be distributed to the general population, not cubers. No one wants a bag of plastic or a cube that looks like it's been used because it's out of the package. If you want to donate a puzzle, then probably stick with the Rubik's brand or puzzles that include packaging (like from Meffert's).
