One of the largest charities benefiting underprivileged children has received the support of a large group of local dart players.
The fourth annual Toys for Tots Mixed Doubles soft tip dart tournament will be held on October 13th in East Alton. A group of local volunteers, the Alton Leathernecks and an East Alton business are hosting a benefit dart tournament for the fourth consecutive year. Headed by a former Marine PFC Curt Willeford and other volunteers, this event has grown from 32 participants in 2009 to 80 in 2011. In addition to the growth of participants, this tournament has seen cash donations increase from $1500 in 2009 to $5000 in 2011.
