Spreading Holiday Cheer Through Community, Celebration & Giving
Every December, our community comes together to honor the spirit of the season while making a meaningful difference. The 175th infantry regiment association’s annual 12 Bars of Christmas Charity Crawl & Toy Drive invites members, families, supporters, and friends to join in a festive evening, enjoy the camaraderie, and donate toys that bring hope to children in need.
Join us as we transform celebration into service and uphold the long-standing tradition of supporting families within our community.

🎁 Goal: Collect 750+ toys to support families facing hardship
Our Mission
The 175th infantry regiment association inc is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to preserving the legacy, camaraderie, and service traditions of the regiment while supporting soldiers, veterans, and their families. What began as a way to strengthen bonds within the regiment has grown into a meaningful tradition that provides encouragement, connection, and support to families throughout the holiday season and beyond.
Why We Do It
We believe that duty, community, and compassion are core values that extend far beyond military service. By blending celebration with charitable action, we honor the spirit of brotherhood and service that defines the 175th. Through our annual toy drive and community outreach efforts, we directly support children and families facing hardship—ensuring that generosity, unity, and the regiment’s proud legacy continue to make an impact.
