Our story

Toys for Treasure Valley Corporation was created in 2010 when five local US Marine Corps Veterans had a discussion at Quinn’s Restaurant to do an annual Toys For Tots Ride and Benefit Concert to combine effort with the United States Marine Corps Reserve in Boise, Idaho. The annual Toys For Tots Campaign is a USMC tradition dating back to 1947.

The goal of the Toys For Treasure Valley Corporation is to set up a motorcycle ride through the city of Boise on the first Sunday in November. In addition to the ride, the corporation also sponsors the Toys For Tots Benefit Concert (Rhythm and Rye) in December. Both events include raffles and silent auctions to bring in needed funds to assist the United States Marine Corps Toys For Tots Campaign efforts in the greater Treasure Valley and beyond. We recently added the Toys For Tots Summer Festival in June.

The Annual Toys For Tots Ride is the official kickoff event of the Toys For Tots Campaign in the Treasure Valley. The ride begins at High Desert Harley Davidson at 11am and arrives at Quinn’s Restaurant and Lounge. The ride includes Santa Claus, USMC vehicles from USMCR, and a selected USMC Veteran as the guest of honor.

We are a non-profit organization that directly supports Boise Toys For Tots at Gowen Field via 4th LAR. Each year the Toys For Treasure Valley Corporation, 4th LAR and Boise Toys For Tots sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that details how each will support local Toys For Tots and maintain the Corps Values of Honor, Courage, and Commitment of the United States Marine Corps.

Join us this summer for our 3rd Annual Toys for Tots Summer Festival at Kleiner Park, in Meridian Idaho. Enjoy live music, food trucks, craft vendors, and more!

In November will will kick-off the season with the 17th Annual Toys For Tots Ride and Poker Run. Registered riders will start at High Desert Harley Davidson and follow a list of stops finishing at Quinn’s Restaurant and Lounge in Boise, Idaho. Events at Quinn’s include a silent auction, chili, and good times.

In December we will host our Rhythm and Rye event which includes an acoustic concert and silent whiskey auction presented in partnership with the Boise Bourbon Sippers. Find rare and exciting offerings all while supporting Toys For Tots!

Also in December the Stage Coach Theater will donate their opening night proceeds from their Christmas play to help us keep going and meeting our operating expenses for next year.
