This Could Be Yours: The Holiday Toy Truck Giveaway
This could be yours! That was the promise behind one of our favorite holiday giveaways: a custom Power Wheels Ford Raptor, a showroom full of donated toys, and a lot of smiles across the Miami Valley.
Here’s how One Toy, One Smile, and One Community came together, and what could be yours from us all year long.
Unwrap the Story Behind Could Be Yours
Three gifts, one holiday. Tap a box to lift the lid.
One Toy
The star of the season was a custom Power Wheels Ford Raptor, dressed up with a giant red bow and parked where every kid who walked in could see it. One lucky family took it home, and for a few weeks it was the most talked-about truck in Brookville.
One Smile
Before it found its new home, Hallie took the Raptor for a spin in our showroom. Watch the video and you’ll see the whole point of the giveaway on her face. That smile could be yours to give, too.
One Community
Every toy donated to enter went to kids who needed a little extra at the holidays, through local charities, schools, and community events. The truck got the attention; the donations did the real good.
The toy drive is one piece of a bigger habit. Over the years we’ve cheered on the Brookville Blue Devils and the Troy Trojans, supported local veterans through AmVets, and backed anti-bullying work in Brookville. A family business grows up with its neighbors, and the holidays are when we feel that most.
How Could Be Yours Worked
The entry fee was simple: a little generosity. Here’s the raffle ticket.
- Bring a new, unwrapped toy
- Drop it off at our Brookville office, 115 Jefferson St., or our Troy office, 121 NE Public Square, during business hours
- Get entered to win the custom Power Wheels truck
- Give every toy went to a local kid for the holidays
Every donation went to a Miami Valley kid. Groups like Toys for Tots show how far one new toy can go at the holidays.
What Else Could Be Yours? Make a Wish List
The truck was for the kids. For the grown-ups, check off what you’d put on your home’s wish list.

Winter is a good time to start that list. Drafts are easy to feel, ice along the eaves shows where an attic is losing heat, and a plan made in January can be ready to install when the weather breaks in spring.
Picture a home that’s safer, more comfortable, and more valuable. We inspect for storm damage, ice dams, leaks, and drafts, then build a plan that fits your budget and style. Browse the project gallery or read homeowner reviews for ideas.

A holiday toy drive with a twist. Every new, unwrapped toy donated at our offices entered the giver to win a custom Power Wheels Ford Raptor, and every toy went to a local kid.
How did people enter?
By dropping off a new, unwrapped toy at our Brookville office on Jefferson Street or our Troy office on the Public Square during business hours.
