Butler Applebee’s Raises Over $18,300 for 'Toys for Tots'

Restaurant chain breaks record for donation drive.

Over the past 13 years, Breakfast with Santa events throughout northern and central New Jersey and at participating restaurants on Long Island have raised a combined total of over $2.7 million for the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots program.

Neighborhood Applebee’s donated 100 percent of the proceeds from each of their local events and sold paper “gift packages,” bringing the combined contribution to a record-breaking $322,500 to help provide happiness and hope to disadvantaged children during this past holiday season. 

In Morris County, over $37,200 was raised and Applebee's alone contributed over $18,300.  Dollars raised in each community benefitted that local community.
