December 13, 2012 (San Diego)– As an air of excitement and anticipation hung over the 37th Annual Stoney & Rob’s Holiday Party and Fundraiser, the curtain was raised on the stage of the DreamCatcher at Viejas Casino last week to reveal more than 7,000 toys that will go to needy families in the area. The exact number this year was 7,217—more than twice the 3,000 gifts raised last year by Team Members and guests at Viejas Casino and Outlets.
Viejas Casino & Outlets Team Members and Viejas Tribal Government staff donated the toys during the month of November. In addition, Viejas Casino Guests received $5 Free Play Cash in exchange for donations of new, unwrapped toys and shoppers at the Viejas Outlets received discounts at Viejas Bowl and the Viejas Ice Rink, as well as a Gift Card in exchange for new, unwrapped toys.
Viejas Casino General Manager Chris Kelley said, “Every year we’ve raised the bar on the Toy Drive, and every year our Team Members and guests have met the challenge…and then some. It demonstrates their commitment to excellence and their dedication to helping families in our community, and I’m very proud of them.”
Also at the event, Viejas Community Relations presented Salvation Army Captain Terry Masango with a check for $15,000 on behalf of the Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians to support the Army’s efforts in eastern San Diego County.
