Greene Turtle Employees Donate Tips To Toys For Tots

ABERDEEN, MD – Employees at participating The Greene Turtle Sports Bar & Grille locations donated 100 percent of the tips they earned on December 13 to Toys for Tots as part of The Greene Turtle's 12th annual “Tips for Tots” initiative across communities in Maryland, Delaware, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and Washington, D.C. Select Greene Turtle locations also conducted 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 $93,000 for local Toys for Tots programs, and this year its goal is to raise more than $100,000 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.
