Last year, the Toys for Tots foundation delivered more than 18.5 million toys to nearly 7.4 million children -- and this year, Penn State students are setting out to increase that number.

Tomorrow night at 7, Skylar Booking will present "Rock for Tots," a benefit concert for the Toys for Tots foundation. The show will feature bands such as Me against Myself, Joe Dabney, Tyler Speaks for Me, Takanawa and Hopes High. It will take place at SoZo, 256 E. Beaver Ave., a downtown multi-purpose facility for the Antioch International Church.

Admission to the concert is $5; however, in lieu of the entrance fee, students can get into the show by donating a toy of $5 value. All toys and proceeds will go directly to the Toys for Tots foundation.

"The whole idea is that instead of having an admission price for the concert, people will hopefully brings toys instead. Then we can donate them and Toys for Tots will circulate the toys into their foundation," show co-organizer Andrew Visnovsky (sophomore-division of undergraduate studies) said.

Visnovsky said the goal for the charity concert is to fill two to three trash bags with donated toys, although cash donations are welcome as well. All monetary donations would be used by the foundation to purchase wholesale toys for 8- to 14-year-olds, an age group generally neglected in the toy donation department.

Visnovsky said he birthed the idea of "Rock for Tots" when he was a senior in high school and decided to keep the charitable Christmas show alive in the State College area.

Show co-organizer Zack Hartman said that he thinks tomorrow night's show will be the most successful one yet.

"Even though Andrew put on the show in high school, I think this year's 'Rock for Tots' is going to be the biggest one yet," he said.

Because of SoZo's downtown location near Canyon Pizza, the two organizers are hoping to draw the walking traffic that is usually typical on a Saturday night.

"Also, after the Crowbar closed down, we still wanted to have shows with intimate settings, instead of the arena shows that the school puts on," Hartman said. "We wanted to keep the local scene around and not let it fade away."

SoZo Coordinator William Snyder said the spirit of the event is helping those in need.

"I think 'Rock for Tots' is a great idea, just because we're in the heart of helping people out, and setting a good tone," he said. "That's the kind of involvement we're hoping to get at SoZo."

Two of the bands playing are acoustic, and the others fall under a rock/emo genre, Hartman said.

"We wanted a few bands with large fan bases so that we could draw a crowd," he said.

"However, we also picked some new bands that we thought kids around here might like."

All in all, the show organizers want to attract as many people as the venue can hold. "Let's get these kids what they want for Christmas," Hartman said.
