Canonsburg, PA - December 22, 2019 - The Marcellus & Utica Gas Suppliers, Services, and Manufacturers Association (MUG) had a tremendous turnout at their annual Holiday Happy Hour & Toy Drive at All Star Sports Bar & Grill on December 9 in Southpointe. This was the final event of the year for the five year old nonprofit organization which had its most successful year in 2019. Attendees of the happy hour were asked to make a $20 donation and bring a toy to be donated to Toys for Tots. With over a hundred attendees, the MUG collected an estimated $2,000 worth of toys and raised over $4,000 the night of the event.
The open bar and success of the event was made possible by the gracious event sponsors: Gold Sponsors were Botha Trucking and One More Load Trucking; Silver Sponsors were NVI, Pipeline Systems, Staar Logistics, USA Compression, and Worthington Industries; Raffle Item Sponsors were Consolidated Wellsite Services and Hellbender Marketing.
On December 10, MUG took the estimated $2,000 worth of toys that were donated the night of the event to the Range Resources Toys for Tots drive which was then delivered to the Washington Alliance Church in Washington, PA. The following morning, after a shopping spree that included three overflowing carts and five bicycles, MUG donated roughly $2,000 worth of toys to the Pennsylvania General Energy Toys for Tots drive in Warren, PA.
