In its 11th year, the annual toy drive hoists KEGY Enrgy
103.7 FM beloved radio personality AJ Machado in the air until a goal of
100,000 toys is reached for Rady Children’s Hospital, according to a story at
nctimes.com. Calling a scissor lift his new home, Machado
entered the aerial platform Wednesday in the Ikea parking lot in Mission Valley
and is expected to stay up until Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving.
“This toy drive has become the biggest supplier of toys to
Rady Children’s Hospital,” says Machado, a father of two young girls. “The toys
are used to calm a nervous child, to entertain a bored one, to ‘bribe’ someone

hospital.”
This is the first time Machado — and sidekick Hula Ramos —
have hosted the event with Energy 103.7. He was previously with Star 94.1.
