How to Participate
1
Choose an organization
Search for charities in your area who accept toy donations (Ex. Children's Hospitals, Toys for Tots, Salvation Army, local shelters or non-profits focused on helping families).
​
*If you'd like to claim your donation as a tax deduction, make sure to choose a 501(c)(3) non-profit to donate your cars to*
2
Gather your diecast
Collect any number of new, unopened diecast cars to donate. You can spread the word to friends and coworkers to get them involved, or host a donation drive! (If hosting a donatino drive, email us and we'll send printable PDF's for flyers/posters!)

Tally & Drop off your donations!
Get a final count of your diecast donations, and email us at info@drivendreams.org so we can include you in the grand total.
Now it's time to deliver your donations! We love seeing pictures of donation drops, so feel free to send any our way and let us know if we have permission to share your photos online.

Our Story
Driven Dreams was founded in 2021 by a small group of diecast enthusiasts who met sharing their collections on YouTube. Realizing it wasn't exactly practical (or necessary) to own thousands of tiny cars, it became their mission to donate cars from their own collections to children in need.
What started as a small initiative has grown each year to include collectors around the world donating diecast in their local areas.
