"Giving Back" Day at all SD Geppetto's Toys Locations
Geppetto's Toys is expanding and wants to say thank you through a "Giving Back" day this Saturday, October 5, 2013. To celebrate its newest location at Westfield UTC, the company will be donating 9% of sales from all locations on October 5 to one of four charities (consumer's choice): Rady Children's Hospital, Voices for Children, Big Pals Program of Jewish Family Services and KIT (Kids Included Together).
"We have loved being able to share the wonder and magic of creative play with families all over San Diego and to celebrate our newest location, we're saying thank you by giving back from our sales all day on October 5," said Brian Miller, owner of Geppetto's Toys.
Owned and operated by Miller since 1992, Geppetto's features toys and games personally hand picked and tested by Miller and his family that encourage imaginative play, multi-generational interaction and creativity.
