Carrier raises funds; Official toy-drop location
DENVER, 2012-11-30 — /travelprnews.com/ — Frontier Airlines today announced it is launching a month-long fundraising campaign for the Toys for Tots Foundation. Throughout the month of December, the Denver-based carrier will raise funds to support Toys for Tots by donating all proceeds from onboard sales of Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory’s Plain Ol’ Fashioned Fudge to the organization. Passengers will also be able to make a donation of $0.50 or more with any onboard food or drink purchase.
Throughout the month, Frontier will also have toy collection bins at its ticket counters at Denver International Airport. Visitors and passengers may drop off new, unwrapped toys at Frontier ticket counters in Denver until Wednesday, Dec. 19, 2012. On Wednesday, December 12, 2012 uniformed Marines from the Toys for Tots Foundation will be stationed at the Frontier collection bins from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to thank passengers for donating.
“Frontier has made it a priority this holiday season to help spread hope, through a new toy, to the children in need in our community,” said Cathy Rieb, Frontier’s director of brand and product. “We are proud to partner with the Toys for Tots Foundation and hope our customers will join us in this effort to help children throughout Colorado by dropping off a toy on their way out of town or picking up some fudge onboard our aircraft.”
