United States Marine Toys for Tots Foundation in Lakewood Ranch
It’s no secret that holidays are the most stressful time of the year. Between relatives, gifts, food, and the preparation that goes into each activity, it’s very easy to get wrapped up (pun intended) with the activities that coincide with the season. However, the holidays are also a time when we should take the time to think of others, especially those who happen to be less fortunate. And that’s the subject of the article you’re currently reading. Lakewood Ranch is a community that believes in caring. And McGrath’s Irish Ale House is proud to announce its involvement with Ed’s Tavern and the United States Marine Corps. Toys for Tots foundation.
What are Toys for Tots?
Toys for Tots is a charity organization organized by the Marine Corps that focuses on providing economically disadvantaged children the joy of receiving gifts at Christmas time. And while it’s assumed that restaurants in Lakewood Ranch are in competition with one another, this isn’t about business, profits, or attracting more customers. This is about giving back and helping those who are less fortunate.
It’s not a Race; It’s A Literal Charity Drive
Suncoast Porsche will host an event on Saturday, December 3, 2022. A 115-mile charity road rally will begin at Suncoast Porsche, where over a hundred cars will join together to help make the holiday season a bit brighter for underprivileged children within our community. Each driver and navigator will drop unwrapped toys into giant toy boxes; these will then be delivered to Toys for Tots.
