Toy Donors Receive 7-Eleven Coupons for Free Foods and Drinks

PORTLAND, OR (iFranchiseNews.com) Dec. 12, 2012 – To make sure kids at Doernbecher Children’s Hospital receive a toy this holiday season, approximately 110 7-Eleven, Inc. stores in the greater Portland area are collecting new, unwrapped toys and games through Sunday, Dec. 16, in their first “Give a Smile to a Child” toy drive. Bright red collection boxes are located in all participating stores.

Each person who donates will receive a collection of coupons for free 7-Eleven® favorites like glazed donuts, Big Bite® hot dogs, Go-Go Taquitos®, coffee, Big Gulp® and Slurpee® drinks. The offer is limited to one set of coupons per guest, while supplies last.

“The toy drive is a first-time effort for us, and we want to encourage our customers to make sure no child who is a Doernbecher patient goes without a toy this Christmas,” said Brad Slade, 7-Eleven market manager. “So if you give a gift to our toy drive, we will give you coupons for free 7-Eleven goodies.
