She enjoys collecting the toys from the patrons of the casino. Soboba Foundation President Dondi Silvas acknowledges that these past few years have been very difficult for everyone, especially the little ones. The toy drive has allowed as many as 50 nonprofits and child-based groups to present toys to young families each year. Planning early, expectations are high to exceed 5,000 this year, enough to provide for the groups that depend on this assistance each holiday season. Last year’s drive collected 4,100 toys, the lowest amount in the history of the event.
