Naturals Team up with Toys for Tots
Members of the Naturals staff, representatives from Toys for Tots, and on-air personalities from the local radio station partners will be on hand Saturday, December 11th, from 10 A.M. till 5 P.M. for the Toys for Tots Triple-Play Toy Drive.
Toys for Tots and the Naturals are aiming to reach their goal of filling a storage crate with new, unwrapped holiday gifts. Red Dirt Outfitters, the official team store of the Naturals, will also be open and be featuring a storewide sale with 25-30% off select items, including specials on Texas League Championship merchandise. Naturals fans donating an unwrapped toy to the Toys for Tots Triple-Play Toy Drive can receive an Naturals Holiday tree ornament, while supplies last. Red Dirt Outfitters is open Monday through Saturday from 10 until 5 P.M. throughout the holiday season for your shopping convenience. Toy donations can be collected at any time between now and December 11th.
Toys for Tots has been a recognizable program every Christmas since 1947. The program is run by the US Marine Corps Reserve with the mission "to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community in which the campaign is conducted."
Although last year several million toys were distributed to 7.5 million needy children across the country, Toys for Tots is committed to keeping toys donated in Northwest Arkansas for the sole benefit of underprivileged youth in the greater area.
The Northwest Arkansas Naturals are the Double-A Texas League affiliate of the Kansas City Royals and play at state-of-the-art Arvest Ballpark, located in Springdale. The 2011 season begins on Thursday, April 7th. Visit our website, nwanaturals.com, for information on season tickets and ticket plans.
