The company raised the funds by donating a portion of its tater tots proceeds to the annual U.S. Marine Corps campaign.

GetGo Café + Market and its customers raised $10,000 for the U.S Marine Corps’ annual Toys for Tots holiday campaign. For the second year in a row, GetGo donated a portion of the proceeds from any order of tots during November to the Marine Corps Toys for Tots.

“Our customers responded so enthusiastically to last year’s Tots for Toys for Tots campaign that we knew we had to do it again this year,” said GetGo Chief of Staff Rug Phatak. “We’re proud to partner with our neighbors and the Marine Corps to provide toys and gifts to the children of our communities.”

The Marine Corps Toys for Tots program collects new unwrapped toys and distributes them to less fortunate children during the holidays. Since its beginning in 1947, it has distributed 604 million toys to 272 million children.

GetGo evolves the traditional convenience store experience, delivering a cafe and market that features a wide-ranging menu of high-quality fresh food and meal solutions, customer service in an in-store setting and a commitment to traditional and alternative fueling solutions that keeps people on the move no matter how they travel. GetGo operates 265 locations throughout western Pennsylvania, Ohio, northern West Virginia, Maryland and Indiana.
