What started as a simple idea rooted in a shared passion for children, families, and community turned into something truly special!
Last year, local business owners and moms, Sabria Richards and Kristina Lambros, joined forces to bring Marco Island its very first Touch-A-Truck event! As mothers and active members of the community, they recognized an opportunity to create a unique experience that would bring families together, spark curiosity in young children, and provide an exciting, hands-on introduction to the vehicles they see in their everyday lives.
But their vision went far beyond just trucks!
Sabria and Kristina wanted to create an experience where children could climb, explore, learn, and interact with the hardworking men and women who help keep their community running. From first responders to local businesses, their goal was to connect Marco Island’s youngest residents with the people and organizations that make their community such a special place to call home.
Their mission was simple: bring families together, celebrate the community, and create childhood memories that last a lifetime.
The excitement on the children’s faces and the incredible support from the community during the inaugural event reaffirmed exactly why these two women set out on this journey.
Looking ahead, Sabria and Kristina hope to see Touch-a-Truck grow into a cherished annual Marco Island tradition—an event that families eagerly anticipate year after year, where community connections are strengthened, local heroes are celebrated, and children are encouraged to dream big.
Above all, their hope is to continue creating meaningful opportunities for families to come together and for children to experience the magic of learning through exploration.
Because sometimes the biggest ideas begin with TWO MOMS, a shared vision, and a simple desire to make a difference.
Marco Island families are invited to experience the second annual Touch-A-Truck event on Marco Island when the community-wide celebration rolls into Veterans Community Park at 901 Park Avenue, Marco Island on Saturday, February 27, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. The event is free and open to the public.
