The Greene Turtle Sports Bar & Grille® to Collect “Tips for Tots” for Children in Need on December 7

The Greene Turtle Sports Bar & Grille® to Collect “Tips for Tots” for Children in Need on December 7

In the spirit of the holidays I wanted to share with my local Maryland and surroundings readers a special opportunity to help those who are less fortunate this holiday season.

As part of The Greene Turtle’s 11th annual “Tips for Tots” fundraiser, employees will donate 100 percent of the tips they earn on December 7 to Toys for Tots to give local children a happier holiday season

 

WHAT:  Employees at participating The Greene Turtle Sports Bar & Grille locations will donate 100 percent of the tips they earn on Wednesday, December 7 to Toys for Tots as part of The Greene Turtle’s 11th annual “Tips for Tots” initiative across communities in Maryland, Delaware, New York, Virginia, West Virginia and Washington, D.C. The Greene Turtle will also conduct raffles and silent auctions throughout the day to raise additional funds. The Greene Turtle Franchising Corporation will add a matching $500 donation for each participating location that earns $1,000 in tips. Last year, The Greene Turtle raised more than $70,000 for local Toys for Tots programs, and this year its goal is to raise more than $90,000 to help give children a happier holiday season.

The mission of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to less fortunate children in the community in which the campaign is conducted. During the first ten years of Tips for Tots, The Greene Turtle has donated more than a quarter of a million dollars in purchased toys to local Toys for Tots programs through the tips donated by employees, donations from the corporate offices and additional gifts donated by other members of the community.
