Rockin’ For Tots to be Tampa Bay’s Largest Area Marines Toys for Tots Music Benefit
Pinellas County, Fla. – November 1st, 2019 – The Daiquiri Shak Raw Bar & Grille located in Madeira Beach and a few local passionate business people have created a dynamic partnership with the Marines’ Toys for Tots organization to give back to the families residing in the Tampa Bay area.
Jeremy Runo, owner of the Daiquiri Shak states, “This event is going to hopefully show a little of the huge appreciation and gratitude we have for the US Marines’ & The Toys for Tots organization and provide the opportunity to support local families in need. As a business in Pinellas County, it is our responsibility to do what we can to provide a helping hand and assure a bright Christmas to children whose families are struggling to provide Christmas gifts for them.”
“The 1st Annual Rockin’ for Tots” benefit concert will be the area’s largest official benefit for the Marines’ Toys for Tots serving both sides of the Tampa Bay area. One hundred percent (100%) of the monies & toys collected/raised to help the local chapters in Tampa, FL and St. Petersburg, Fl will be presented to the Marines’ Toys for Tots after the event. Toys will be collected at various pick up locations in Pinellas County as well as at the event and will be donated to local Tampa Bay area children in need.
This benefit concert event will be attended by a number of local Marines and feature an array of the Tampa Bay area’s top bands (listed below), who will be donating their time to perform throughout the evening and will also feature appearances throughout by local celebrities AND Mr. & Mrs. Santa Claus.
