SMG Richmond Partners with Toys for Tots to Help Local Children this Holiday Season

Oct 31, 2016

SMG Richmond will continue its tradition of helping needy children in the Greater Richmond community through its partnership with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program this holiday season.

Three SMG-managed venues–Richmond Coliseum (601 E. Leigh St.), Altria Theater (6 N. Laurel St.) and Dominion Arts Center (600 E. Grace St.)—will serve as drop-off locations for new, unwrapped toys in November and December. Toys can be dropped off in the specially marked locations during normal office hours and during all public events at the three venues.

On business days, drops offs can be made at the Richmond Coliseum administrative office on Leigh St. from 9 a.m.-5 p.m., the Altria Theater box office from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and the Dominion Arts Center box office from 10 a.m.-5 p.m.

“SMG is proud to give back to the Richmond community through this partnership with Toys for Tots,” General Manager Dwight Johnson said. “We encourage everyone to bring a new toy with them when they come to one of our events and help those in need during the holidays.”

Through this partnership, SMG Richmond assists Toys for Tots in its goal to deliver a message of hope to less fortunate youngsters through a new toy at Christmas. This is the fourth year SMG has teamed with Toys for Tots to collect toys for the children of Richmond.
