Anyone bringing a new, unwrapped toy or making a $5.00 contribution to Toys for Tots is permitted to participate in the Open Skate. An emphasis is being put on toys for children ages 10 and up to help the growing demand.

The Open Skate will run from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.  Light refreshments will be available for purchase with partial proceeds donated to Toys for Tots.

All guests in attendance will have the opportunity to win some great prizes while at the event including tickets to select Mohegan Sun Arena events.
