7th Annual - Toys For Tots - Toy Drive
It's that time of the year again! December 6th is the last Beach Burger Meet-n-Greet of the year and it will also be our 7th Annual Toys For Tots drive.
Once again, the United States Marine Corps will be in attendance to do the toy collection. We look forward to seeing everyone at a Holiday Spirited Beach Burger Meet-n-Greet. This is always one of the best turnouts of the year, so make plans now to attend!
If you would like to make a cash donation directly to Toys for Tots, you can do so right through their website at http://www.toysfortots.org/donate/default.asp .
Once again, we will have a raffle to give away prizes. Each gift donated gets you a ticket for the raffle. Do not bring a bunch of small gifts to get more tickets! Gifts must fit the guidelines below. Note that if your gift does not fit the guideline below, we will not issue you raffle tickets.
We are also accepting donations for prize drawings. Gift cards/certificates, car related products and anything you might think would be appreciated by out members.
