Local Ruby Tuesday Locations Team Up This Holiday
To Collect Toys for Children at Boys & Girls Town of Missouri

Columbia, Mo. (Dec 8, 2008) –Local Ruby Tuesday restaurants are partnering with Boys & Girls Town of Missouri for a holiday gift drive to make the season bright for children who have suffer from emotional and behavioral problems. Many children in the care of Boys & Girls Town don’t have family with whom they can spend the holidays and, for most, these will be the only gifts the children receive.

When visiting Ruby Tuesday in the upcoming weeks, pull an ornament off of the designated Christmas tree. Each ornament will indicate a gift requested by a child at Boys & Girls town.  Please drop off the unwrapped gift at Ruby Tuesday through December 15, and make a difference for a child this holiday. Donations should be appropriate for children ages 10 through 17. 

If interested in making a donation directly to Boys & Girls Town of Missouri, please contact Alana Coon at 573.874.8686 x 819 or Alana.Coon@great-circle.org.
