Due to scheduling challenges and available volunteers, Brats for Tots will remain a first-shift only event; there will not be second- or third-shift events this year. Please see below for event details and how to volunteer to lead a different shift’s event in a future year.
The FP&M tradition continues for another year with the 9th Annual Brats for Tots Cookout to benefit the local Toys For Tots Foundation, a not-for-profit public charity that collects toys for children in the community.
The event will be held Thursday, Oct. 15, 2026 from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. at Fleet & Service Garage 27 N. Charter St.
All FP&M employees are welcome!
Enjoy grilled brats!
Donations aren’t required.
Limited vegetarian brats as well as a non-pork option will be available.
Spread the word
Print and share the flyer in your work area!
