The Big Christmas Do-Over for tornado victims

It has been almost a year since a tornado destroyed the homes of several North Texas families. The tornado blew through Garland and Rowlett the day after Christmas.

Now, the founder of the nonprofit Rowlett Strong, Steve Walker, is trying to make this Christmas better by hosting what he calls “The Big Christmas Do-Over”.

The event will be held Saturday, December 17th but Rowlett Strong is collecting donations for the event now.

They’re collecting toys for boys and girls 0-12 years old and gift cards for the older children.
