Donate toys and supplies for Ryther Child Center and get coupons to local Ballard businesses.
EDGE Personal Training is spearheading the toy drive, which starts Monday, November 28th. Everyone who donates will receive a new client coupon from EDGE for up to $50 off personal training, as well as Ballard restaurant coupons. The Market Arms (2401 NW Market St) and La Isla (2320 NW Market St) are donating $5 coupons and Ray’s Cafe (6049 Seaview Ave NW) is donating free appetizer coupons for calamari or hummus. Each time someone drops off a toy or supply, the person will spin a wheel with different “pie slices” for coupons to one to all three restaurants.
