The Greene Turtle To Host 14th Annual 'Tips For Tots'

GERMANTOWN, MD — The Greene Turtle Sports Bar & Grille will launch its 14th annual "Tips for Tots" initiative on Dec. 11 to support Toys for Tots, the nationwide charity program that offers toys to underprivileged children during the holidays.

All 44 Green Turtle locations will pool 100 percent of the tips they earn on Dec. 11 and buy toys to donate to the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve's annual toy drive, a spokesman said. The Greene Turtle's corporate office has also pledged to add $500 to each team that raises at least $1,000.

Since its debut in 2006, the program has raised more than $500,000 to help underprivileged children.

"We invite everyone to come out and dine with us on December 11 – or simply stop by to drop off an unopened toy – and join The Greene Turtle in raising spirits throughout the community," said Geo Concepcion, president and CEO of The Greene Turtle.

The Green Turtle has three locations in Montgomery County:

• Germantown — 19961 Century Blvd.
• Olney — 18101 Town Center Dr.
• Burtonsville — 15660 Old Columbia Pike

The Germantown location is open 11 a.m. to midnight Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday. Olney's outpost is open 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. Sunday through Tuesday, 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Wednesday and Thursday, and 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday.
