Black Friday Challenge: Batteries Plus Urges Americans to Help Surpass Goal to Donate 1 Million Batteries to Toys for Tots

November 27, 2024 // Franchising.com // HARTLAND, Wis. – This Black Friday, shopping at Batteries Plus means more than just great deals, it’s an opportunity to give back to the community. Batteries Plus is committed to donating more than one million batteries to this year’s U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots Campaign, ensuring the organization can maximize the number of battery-powered toys donated to families in need this holiday season.

Black Friday Deals Support the Mission

Halfway to its goal of one million batteries for Toys for Tots, Batteries Plus is now calling on customers nationwide to help reach – and surpass – its target. Through its “Buy One, Give One” promotion running through December 15, Batteries Plus will donate a pack of AA or AAA batteries for every promotional pack purchased in its stores.

“This donation is about providing every child the chance to experience the excitement of opening a new toy and being  able to play with it right away,” said Scott Williams, CEO of Batteries Plus. “We’re incredibly grateful for our generous customers for helping us reach our donation goal while simultaneously ensuring their own homes and toys are powered up for the holidays.”

“Batteries Sold Separately”

For 33 years, Toys for Tots has earned a reputation for providing families in need with quality toys and games during the holiday season. But many toys come with the disclaimer that batteries are “sold separately.” The additional cost of batteries to power toys remains an obstacle for families, so Toys for Tots refuses to distribute any toy without batteries. Through this fifth annual partnership with Batteries Plus, customers are taking a crucial step to ensure more toys are allowed to be gifted to families in need this holiday season.

“Supplying batteries for toys during the holiday season is an age-old pain-point for so many parents, and that challenge is only amplified for families in need,” said retired Marine Colonel Ted Silvester, Vice President of the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. “This initiative represents the power of community in action to drive the spirit of the holiday season.”

In addition to the holiday season “Buy One, Give One” promotion, customers can visit their nearest Batteries Plus store to donate new toys for the annual Toys for Tots campaign.
