Spirit Mountain Casino holding annual toy drive

Spirit Mountain Casino continues the tradition of giving with its eighth annual Holiday Toy Drive to benefit Oregon Health & Science University’s Doernbecher Children’s Hospital.

Between Nov. 15 and Dec. 6, 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. The hospital is in need of appropriate toys for infants and toddlers, school-age children and teenage boys and girls. A full wish list can be reviewed at www.spiritmountain.com.

“This is our eighth year of partnership with Doernbecher during the holiday season,” said Spirit Mountain Casino General Manager Stan Dillon. “The toy drive allows us to bring joy to the children at Doernbecher during a challenging time in their lives. We are grateful for the generosity of our guests who continue to make donations each year, allowing us to provide sufficient toys to meet the hospital’s needs at Christmastime and throughout the year.”

Toy donations are not only used during the holiday season, but are used for birthdays, special occasions, educational tools, play room toys and treatment pals through the entire year at Doernbecher.

“We are thankful for the continued opportunity to work with the incredible staff at Doernbecher Children’s Hospital,” Dillon said. “On behalf of the employees of Spirit Mountain Casino and the members of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, we extend heartfelt blessings for the holiday season of the year to come.”
