MARQUETTE COUNTY -- More than 500 kids in Marquette and Gwinn have been served through St. Vincent de Paul's involvement with the Toys for Tots program.

Super Collision in Marquette is one business that brought a large collection of donated toys this year.

Every person that brought in a toy was eligible to enter a raffle to win a Wii, provided by Superior Collision.

The result was a truckload of presents for Marquette County Children in need.

They say they got some positive feedback about the raffle, but people were primarly focused on donating to a good cause.

"We had a bunch of toys all over," said Brad Miller of Superior Collision.  "I couldn't even step back over there.  Couldn't walk anywhere, it was toys everywhere.  Four big boxes, heaping full boxes.  They came to pick them up and asked us to bring them down because they didn't have enough room in their truck.  That was pretty cool."

Super Collision plans to participate again next year.
