Bengals Game = Toys for Children

Thanks to A Savannah Nite Limousine in Cincinnati, we are entering a season full of giving. The limo service, along with The Anthony Munoz Foundation, collected toys and donations yesterday with a goal to fill two limousines for children in the area. Those who donated were put into a drawing for a chance to win two club level seats! What an awesome way to give back this holiday season!
