2025 CSX Toy Express Application

Toy Express

First Responders Children's Foundation
Toy Express Program Overview

First Responders Children’s Foundation (FRCF) supports the children and families of first responders across the country. Each holiday season, FRCF and CSX Pride in Service present our national Toy Express program, delivering joy to children in need while honoring the service of first responders who distribute the toys directly in their communities.

Whether your department is joining Toy Express for the first time or returning as a valued partner, we look forward to learning more about your holiday event. If selected, your agency will receive toys to share with local children, helping brighten the season and strengthen bonds between first responders and the families they serve.

Partner Expectations
- Agencies must complete and submit the Toy Express application no later than November 1, 2025.
- Applications must be submitted at least 45 days prior to your event date.
- Partners/agencies are expected to use provided Toy Express branding materials provided, including but not limited to yard signs, banners, and other official assets, so the program is properly recognized in your community.
- The Toy Express Reporting Form must be completed and submitted within 8 business days of your event.

Please provide your best estimate of the number of children by age group. While we will do our best to fulfill your request, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to match the exact numbers in each breakdown. We have a more limited supply of toys for older children, so we may not be able to meet every request in that age group.
What’s the anticipated total number of children in attendance?*
How many children aged 1-3 are you in need of toys for?*
How many children aged 4-6 are you in need of toys for?*
How many children aged 7-10 are you in need of toys for?*
How many children aged 11-13 are you in need of toys for?*
How many children aged 14+ are you in need of toys for?*
If the expected gender breakdown is not even, please describe here:*
Please describe your event*
How do you plan to promote your event and invite attendees? Please describe your outreach methods such as flyers, social media, partnerships, or other efforts, and include any media outlets that may cover the event.*
Please describe the communities you plan to invite to your event, including demographic information (such as age ranges, socioeconomic or cultural background, and populations served) and any specific schools, neighborhoods, or community centers you are targeting and why.*
Please select here if you would have room at your event for ambassadors from FCRF, such as our student scholars, to come and help/volunteer.
I acknowledge that completing this form does not guarantee my agency’s participation in the Toy Express program, and that selection is dependent on multiple factors including toy availability.
I understand that First Responders Children’s Foundation will make every effort to support my event with at least one toy per child; however, due to limited availability, my full requested quantity of toys may not be fulfilled.
I acknowledge that I must be able to receive and securely store the toys in advance of my event.
I acknowledge that participation in this and future First Responders Children’s Foundation programs is contingent upon timely submission of the required follow-up form and all requested media.
I agree to prominently use the provided First Responders Children’s Foundation signage at my event and to capture photos and videos in accordance with the best practices outlined in my welcome packet.
Please allow us time to coordinate with our warehouse. If we are able to accomodate your request, a member of our team will reach out with details about shipping and next steps!
