Spirit Mountain Casino is holding its seventh annual Holiday Toy Drive to benefit Oregon Health & Science University's Doernbecher Children's Hospital through Monday, Dec. 15.
Casino guests can help spread the holiday cheer by bringing in new, unwrapped toys to the Coyote Club desk in exchange for $10 in free slot play. There is a limit of one free play offer per day with a maximum of $50 in free play throughout the promotional period, which started on Tuesday, Nov. 25.
Doernbecher Children's Hospital is in need of appropriate toys for infants and toddlers, school-age children, and teenage boys and girls. For a full wish list, visit www.spiritmountain.com.
"This is our seventh year of helping make the holidays a little brighter at Doernbecher," said Spirit Mountain Casino General Manager Stan Dillon. "Each year, our guests generously and selflessly donate toys to help bring a smile to a child's face during a difficult time in their life. It is these efforts that allow us to provide sufficient toys to meet the hospital's needs throughout the year."
The toy donations are not only used during the holiday season, but are used for birthdays, special occasions, educational tools, playroom toys and treatment pals through the entire year.
"We are grateful for the continued opportunity to work with the incredible staff at Doernbecher. On behalf of the employees of Spirit Mountain Casino and the members of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, we extend our prayers and blessings for the holiday season and the year to come," Dillon said.
