4BC’s Top up the Taxi Christmas Appeal

4BC has announced that the annual Christmas Appeal TOP UP THE TAXI is on again, helping to bring a smile to thousands of Brisbane children on Christmas Day.

TOP UP THE TAXI collects toys for the Lord Mayor’s Community Trust, who then hand them out to shelters, needy families and local charities.

Talk 1116 Brisbane’s 4BC’s Steve Hill is out and about in a specially marked Christmas Yellow Cab Maxi Taxi collecting the donated toys at Mobil Car Care Outlets in and around Brisbane.

Last year more than 5000 toys were collected in the appeal’s debut and this year’s target is even higher. Over the next few weeks the station will be asking listeners to drop a toy off at your local Mobil Car Care.

Bank of Queensland have joined Top Up The Taxi this year, urging all their staff to help out and appealing for their customers to do the same. To donate, listeners can drop an unwrapped toy into any of Mobil Car Care’s outlets around Brisbane.
