VacationMyrtleBeach.com, a Local Resort Group, is Supporting Toys for Tots This Holiday Season.
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C., Dec. 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- "Our resorts generally make an effort to cater specifically to families, so we felt that this was a natural extension of who we are to help as many families as we can during the holiday season," said Matt Klugman of VacationMyrtleBeach.com.
In addition to the thirteen resorts serving as drop-off locations for unopened toys, resort guests and local residents are also being given the chance to donate $1 or more to Toys for Tots when they book a room or check-in between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
And VacationMyrtleBeach.com will be matching all donations up to $1,500 in an effort to raise $3,000 for Toys for Tots and help the charity reach its goal of helping every child this season.
"We realize that we are fortunate enough to assist those who are in need, and the ownership, management and staff of all of our resorts were resoundingly in favor to help this wonderful cause as much as we can," said Klugman. "We're excited to give our guests the opportunity to double their donation to this great cause by matching every dollar up to $1,500."
And Butch Raynes, a volunteer for the Murrells Inlet chapter of Toys for Tots, said this help comes at a great time for the charity.
"Christmas is especially difficult this year with the difficult economic times that we're in. We have over nearly 5,000 children in our area that we are taking care of this year," Raynes said. "Now that we are taking online requests for the first time, the number of children in need keeps growing. I'm getting many new requests every week, and we're doing everything we can to try to help each child."
While all guests will be given the opportunity to make a donation at the time of booking and at check-in, all others who are interested in making a donation to the Toys for Tots fundraising drive can call VacationMyrtleBeach.com at 800-845-0893.
VacationMyrtleBeach.com welcomes donations of new, unopened toys at the front desks of: Beach Colony, Beach Cove Resort, Captain's Quarters, Caravelle Resort, Carolina Winds, Forest Dunes, Hotel Blue, Landmark Resort, Ocean Creek Resort, Palace Resort, Palms Resort, Sea Watch Resort, and South Wind on the Ocean.
