Griffith Exies employee Brad Charles who, along with three of his little helpers, will deliver gifts kindly donated by Griffith businesses and the general public to children around the area 22-23 of December.
"It's so unbelievable the response we have had. It's so rewarding to see every one chip in," Mr Charles said of how he felt receiving hundreds of donations this past week.
"Ive been cruising around in my own time getting donations from businesses and to also let people know what's going on and what we're doing.
"There have been so many businesses that have helped out with donations and gifts. The general public have been so generous as well."
The tour will stop off at Yenda skate park at 5pm and Griffith Memorial Park at 6.30pm on Tuesday December 22. Darlington Point skate park from 5pm and City Park, Griffith at 6.30pm on Wednesday December 23.
There is a lot of excitement currently buzzing around the Exies to get the tour underway next week. Mr Charles will bring along three of his sons to help with getting gifts out to children.
"I'm looking forward to doing it," Mr Charles said.
"I can't wait to see the excitement in my boys eyes when they are doing it."
"Seeing them give the gifts to the kids and the whole exchange. I'm looking forward to that."
Dozens of businesses have supported the tour either through monetary donations or gifts and Mr Charles said he was overwhelmed with the spirit of support from the community.
Mr Charles has organised for gingerbread treats from a generous donation from Bertoldo's Bakery so that no child on the day will walk away without at least something to take home and enjoy.
"No child will walk away empty handed," Mr Charles said.
