Tachi Palace Hotel and Casino recently hosted its November community breakfast where Tachi Palace presented a $5,000 check to United States Marine Staff Sargent Holmes for Toys for Tots, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping less fortunate children throughout the United States experience the joy of Christmas.

More than 350 people attended and a total of $1,288 was raised at the door of the breakfast. Tachi Palace Hotel & Casino and the Santa Rosa Rancheria Tribe matched the money, plus Tachi Palace sponsored an additional $2,424 for a grand total of $5,000. In addition, dozens of toys were donated to the Toys for Tots program.

“It’s been a lot of long hours working with Tachi and we thank you for all your support,” said Staff Sergeant Holmes.

The next community breakfast will be held Friday, December 20, and will benefit Refuge Armona. Attendees are encouraged to donate a minimum of $5 to attend the breakfast.

Tachi Palace hosts a monthly community breakfast that features a breakfast buffet, informative community news, and business networking, as well as raffle prizes. All contributions benefit a featured organization. For more information, visit tachipalace.com.

About Toys for Tots

Toys for Tots is dedicated to helping less fortunate children throughout the United States experience the joy of Christmas; to play an active role in the development of one of our nation’s most valuable resources – our children; to unite all members of local communities in a common cause for three months each year during the annual toy collection and distribution campaign; and to contribute to better communities in the future.

The primary goal of Toys for Tots is to deliver, through a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to less fortunate youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive, patriotic citizens. www.toysfortots.org
