Elkins Park Man Honored At Eagles Game For Charity Work

ELKINS PARK, PA — An Elkins Park man was honored at the Eagles game Sunday for his exceptional work to improve the local community.

Local resident David Norton was named the Santander Community Quarterback honoree, conferred upon "exceptional individuals who exemplify leadership, dedication and commitment to improving the communities where they live." Norton was one of 10 locals honored throughout the season.

Norton's three nephews were orphaned in a tragic incident years ago, inspiring him to create the nonprofit "Tow 4 Tots."

As Norton was a tow truck operator, the charity works with hundreds of other tow truck drivers to deliver toys to nonprofits and to children in need throughout the region.

More than 10 years later, the drivers continue delivering gifts.

As a honoree of the Santander program, Norton received $500 toward the charity of his choice, as well as a VIP experience as the game in a club box Sunday.

He'll also now be entered into a contest with other winners of this program throughout the season for a chance to win $10,000 more to the charity of his choice. The winner will be announced in January.

Well done, David!
