The Saratoga Convention & Tourism Bureau,
DeCrescente Distributing Co. and Olde Saratoga
Brewing Co. have partnered together to initiate
a Toys For Toga campaign in conjunction with
the ninth annual Saratoga County Restaurant
Week, Dec. 6-12.
During Restaurant Week, people can donate
a new and unwrapped toy at any one of the
participating restaurants.
A kickoff event took place on Dec. 2 at Olde
Saratoga Brewery Co. For social media efforts,
the Saratoga Convention & Tourism Bureau is
promoting the campaign using these hashtags:
#ToysForToga and #SaratogaRestaurantWeek.
The donated toys will be distributed on Dec. 16 to these local charities: Franklin Community Center, Captain Youth and Family Services and Mechanicville Area Community Services Center. Last year, these three nonprofit groups assisted some 1,443 children during the holidays.
Officials said the need this year is greater than ever.
