The Sharks Foundation will be hosting drives for new and unwrapped toys at their home games on Dec. 4 (vs. Columbus) and Dec. 6 (vs. Edmonton) to support the Marine Corps Reserve Toys For Tots program.
Sharks fans can assist by making toy or monetary donations as they enter the North and South Entrances of HP Pavilion at San Jose prior to the start of the games. Toys should be new and unwrapped.
All donors will receive a raffle ticket for a drawing to be held that night, with prizes including autographed Sharks items. Raffle winners will be announced on the Video Board during the first intermission and fans must claim their prize at the Sharks Foundation booth (located outside Section 124) before the end of the second intermission.
ABOUT TOYS FOR TOTS
The goal of Toys for Tots is to deliver through a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to needy children that will them to grow into responsible, productive, patriotic citizens and community leaders. We know from the smiles on children's faces and the appreciation from their parents, that the simple gift of a shiny, new toy - something that many take for granted, can make a tremendous difference in the life of a child. Help bring hope to our local children!
