12th Annual Convoy for Tots to Run Sunday, Nov. 16, 2025

Over 100 vehicles from local businesses, civic organizations and emergency services agencies will participate in the 12th Annual Convoy for Tots this Sunday, Nov. 16, 2025. 

The event begins at 9:30 a.m. at the Ballston Spa Middle/High School where a drive-thru drop-off of new, unwrapped toys will take place. At 10:30 a.m. the convoy will travel north on state Route 50 to the Saratoga Performing Arts Center. 

Donations of new, unwrapped toys will also be accepted at SPAC until 12:00 p.m. Members of the public who wish to donate at either site are encouraged to participate. 

Sheriff Michael H. Zurlo welcomes 93-year-old Korean War veteran Paul O’Keefe as grand marshal this year. O’Keefe will ride with Zurlo for the convoy’s duration.

Radio personalities Quinn and Cantara will be on site to greet and thank donors. Spectators are invited to view the convoy along state Route 50.

Coordinated by the Saratoga County Sheriff’s Office and supported mainly by Saratoga County first responders, the Convoy for Tots is held annually to assist Capital Region Toys for Tots, which serves over 160,000 children annually. The 10 previous convoys have collectively yielded toys valued at over $1,000,000 for distribution in the area.
