KINGS MOUNTAIN, NC – Catawba Two Kings Casino recently donated hundreds of toys – valued at $15,000 – to the regional Toys for Tots campaign to provide holiday toys to deserving children in York County in South Carolina and Cleveland County in North Carolina.
The casino, owned and managed by the Catawba Nation, purchased $3,000 worth of toys, casino developer and consultant Delaware North purchased $5,000 worth of toys, and Gaming Capital Group (GCG) – which supplies gaming machines to the casino – purchased $3,000 worth of toys. This supplemented the toys donated by casino employees and patrons.
The donation was coordinated with regional representatives of Toys for Tots and the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, which operates the program nationwide. Jennifer Elberson, Director of Marketing for the casino, oversaw the promotion of the drive with donation boxes placed at the casino.
“Thank you to everyone who has donated to this great cause, including our patrons, our team members, Delaware North and GCG,” said Trent Troxel, VP of the Catawba Nation Gaming Authority. “We also thank our partners with Toys for Tots – the Marines, Cleveland County and York County. Catawba Two Kings Casino loves to give back to the community, and the toys that were donated today will serve a lot of families that are in need.”
This is the fourth consecutive year that Catawba Two Kings Casino and Delaware North have held the Toys for Tots drive at the casino.
