This holiday
season will be a little brighter for hundreds of area children thanks to a
massive Marine Corps Toys for Tots collection drive at Meadowlands Racing &
Entertainment.
This year
the Meadowlands teamed up with NY Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa to donate
all the collected toys to Harlem Grown. Harlem Grown is a charitable organization in Harlem whose mission is
to inspire youth to lead healthy and ambitious lives through mentorship and
hands-on education in urban farming, sustainability, and nutrition. For
additional information, please visit www.HarlemGrown.org.
Hundreds of
toys were collected tonight and guests can continue to bring toys in for
donation through Saturday, December 8th.
Larry Roman, a standardbred horse owner, and the Meadowlands
Racetrack both donated over $2,000 in toys for the drive.
“It was great
partnering with Quincy Enunwa and Harlem Grown this year,” said Jason M.
Settlemoir, GM/COO of Meadowlands Racing and Entertainment. “We are on pace for
an exceptional collection drive and I am so proud of our community and
employees that are donating this year.”
