Jingle & Mingle Toy Drive 2019

The 2019 CASA Jingle & Mingle Toy Drive was another huge success! Each December, AutoNation Toyota Tempe teams up with Voices for CASA Children to put on the Jingle & Mingle Toy Drive. At this annual event, the CASA volunteer community, staff members, and program coordinators come together to enjoy festive food, share heart-warming stories of advocates' successes, and of course, pick out a toy for their CASA children! For AutoNation Toyota Tempe, Jingle & Mingle is one of the best ways to end the year and celebrate the Holidays.

This year's event took place at the Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak Resort. Our General Manager Neil Underwood had the opportunity to speak at the event alongside Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Joseph Kreamer, who is in charge of the juvenile court system and Sheriff Paul Penzone. Check out the gallery below for photos of this year's incredible Jingle & Mingle.

It takes a village to raise our youth. We also know that it takes the village to support each other while doing so. We are inspired by our communities dedication and generosity toward ensuring the needs of foster youth are met - not just this season, but throughout the year.

Voices for CASA Children

Voices for CASA Children or CASA, which stands for Court Appointed Special Advocate, is a group of volunteers that help support foster children in the Phoenix area. In the state of Arizona, about 30 children enter foster care each day, and roughly 9,000 children are already living in foster care. CASA volunteers help support the children by giving them a voice, particularly in court. A CASA volunteer can be the one consistent adult in a foster care child's life, which can make a big and positive impact on them.
