Foothills Bank & Trust, in collaboration with the Junior Service League of Maryville, will present the 2011 Santa Breakfast to benefit Toys for Blount County on Dec. 3 at The Clayton Center for the Arts in Maryville. Tickets can be purchased from Junior Service League members.

“Each year, Santa Claus and crew share breakfast with more than 400 parents and children. In addition to the meal, children can share their Christmas wishes and take photos with Santa Claus. Proceeds from the Santa Breakfast will benefit Toys for Blount County, an annual toy drive that has collected Christmas gifts for Blount County’s children in need since 1972. The Junior Service League of Maryville works year round to provide toys to more than 1,400 area children in need each year.”  – The Daily Times, Sept. 7, 2010
