At the end of the collection period, the points contributed will be converted into a cash donation. This year, True Rewards members will be entered for a chance to win $2,000 in free slot play for their donation of a new or unused toy. Members may participate once per day during the promotional frame. The drawing to choose a winner will take place Dec. 20 at 4 p.m. and participants must be present to win.

 

Toys for Tots is a program founded by the U.S. Marine Corps in 1947, with the affiliated non-profit Marine Toys for Tots created in 1991. Since then, the mission of the organization has been to collect new, unwrapped toys and distribute them to help bring the joy of Christmas and send a message of hope to less fortunate children throughout the U.S. For more than 70 years, the program has distributed more than 566 million toys to 258 children. This year, the program collected 10,362 toys to donate to 2,077 local children for the holidays. More information is available at www.toysfortots.org.
