T
he Florida Restaurant and
Lodging Association (FRLA)
hosted the EscaRosa Toys for
Tots Mixer at Perfect Plain
Brewing Company, which was held on
Wednesday, December 6. The EscaRosa
Chapter teamed up with Perfect Plain
Brewing Company in Pensacola to collect toy
donations for Toys for Tots.
Several kinds of unique toys were gathered
locally for underprivileged kids in Escambia
County. Attendees were encouraged to
support a great cause and get to know their
fellow chapter members. Guests were greeted
at check in, and began to enjoy the evening
after their $10 donation, or a child’s toy.
The Toys for Tots drive strives to provide
holiday toys for struggling families in
Northwest Florida. Through partnerships
with local charitable organizations and
community donations, the Toys for Tots team
hopes to provide three to fi ve toys per child
every year.
The FRLA is Florida’s premiere non-profi t
hospitality industry trade association, based
out of Tallahassee, Florida. FRLA local
chapters serve to unite members, who come
together for meetings, events, networking,
and to address local issues, form consensus,
and support candidates favorable to Florida’s
hospitality industry.
By working together, members have the
ability to formulate a united message and
ensure that those issues most critical to
their businesses are given the attention they
deserve.
