KINGS MOUNTAIN, N.C.  (News Release) – The Catawba Nation’s Catawba Two Kings Casino in Kings Mountain has once again donated hundreds of toys – valued at about $20,000 – to two regional Toys for Tots organizations to provide holiday toys to deserving children in York and Cleveland counties. The toys were donated by casino patrons and employees and also purchased by the casino ($3,000) casino consultant Delaware North ($5,000) and Gaming Capital Group, which supplies gaming machines to the casino ($3,000 plus truck rental for the distribution). Over the last several weeks, the casino also encouraged employees and patrons to donate new, unwrapped toys. This is the fourth consecutive year that the casino and Delaware North have coordinated the Toys for Tots drive at the casino. Jennifer Elberson, director of marketing for the casino, oversaw the promotion of the drive with donation boxes placed at the casino. The donation on Dec. 9 at the casino was coordinated with regional representatives of the Cleveland County (N.C.) and York County (S.C.) Toys for Tots organizations and the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, which operates the program nationwide. “We are so proud of everyone coming together to help these organizations provide toys for children in the regional community,” said Trent Troxel, vice president of the Catawba Nation Gaming Authority. “I want to thank our partners, Delaware North and Gaming Capital Group, for contributing to this awesome day of presenting these toys, and our employees and patrons who have donated.”
