DECEMBER 2024 TOY DRIVE
We are deeply grateful to everyone who supported the 2024 Tony Musto Memorial Toy Drive. Thanks to your kindness and generosity, we collected over 600 toys, along with an abundance of toiletries, treats, outerwear and mandarin oranges for the amazing kids at Rossbrook House.
Your contributions helped bring joy, comfort, and a sense of community to children who need it most. Thank you for continuing to honor Tony’s legacy with such heartfelt giving. We are so honored to keep Tony's generosity going and we wouldn't be able to do it without you.
DECEMBER 2023 TOY DRIVE
Firstly, a massive thank you to everyone who supported us last year. The outpouring of love and generosity in honor of Tony and in support of Rossbrook House was truly heartwarming.
This year has been challenging for the Musto family as we've experienced all the firsts without Tony. As we approach the first anniversary of his unexpected passing, we find solace in the continuation of his legacy. We are thrilled to announce the launch of the 2nd Annual Tony Musto Toy Drive on November 1st, 2024, in collaboration with Rossbrook House.
Our mission this year remains focused on collecting gifts for children aged 6-16. While many toy drives gather a surplus of items for younger children, older kids are often overlooked. Our goal is to ensure that children of all ages can experience the joy of Christmas.
Thank you once more for your incredible support. We are hopeful that with your continued support, the 2nd Annual Toy Drive will be an even greater success.

NOVEMBER 2023
As we newly navigate life without our immensely loved Tony, we have chosen to find a positive way to continue his legacy in a way he would have been proud of. Tony was the biggest kid at heart. He loved the kids in his life big and small. It was never a surprise when Tony would reach out and ask "how many kids are going to be at this thing you're hosting?" and then he would show up with goodie bags he'd made for each kid. Each goodie bag was specially curated to the age and likes of each child, and the joy shared in each goodie bag was contagious. Tony was an incredibly special person, one who would become a friend for life instantly. He had a gentle spirit and a constant state of optimism, even in the most challenging times. We hope that we can continue to spread Tony's gentle and generous spirit, and extend his generosity to those who didn't have the chance to know him.
We have chosen Rossbrook House, for our first Tony Musto Memorial Toy Drive.
Rossbrook House currently supports families with children ages 6 - late teens, and are currently supporting only 1 family with an infant. Most toy drives fall short in gifts for the older kids, and we feel that all kids should be able to enjoy the holidays. Please consider donating gifts with older kids in mind.
We will be accepting new-in-box gifts until December 6th in order to give Rossbrook House enough time to coordinate the donations for their Holiday gathering. Please check our Drop Off list for locations accepting drop offs. Should you have any questions, please use the "Contact us" form and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
Should you prefer to make a monetary donation, 100% of funds will be used to purchase additional gifts to be brought to Rossbrook House.
Thank-you for considering supporting our Toy Drive, and helping us honour Tony Musto's memory.
