Grand Rapids Griffins News Release

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - The Grand Rapids Griffins' popular Tip-A-Griffin fundraiser is back for its 13th edition on Monday, Nov. 18 from 6-8 p.m., when team players, coaches and hockey staff will help serve tables at all six Uccello's Ristorante locations in West Michigan.

Griffins personnel will wear aprons that will be signed and auctioned off at the end of the event. Mascots Griff and Finn will make appearances at select locations.

Each of the six locations will feature a raffle with prizes that include a Griffins team-signed game-used stick, an autographed Dennis Cholowski Red Wings jersey and hockey gloves, an autographed Turner Elson Griffins jersey, plus other Griffins memorabilia and ticket packages, and various gifts from sponsors.

Donations and raffle proceeds will benefit the Griffins Youth Foundation. In its previous 12 versions, Tip-A-Griffin raised more than $100,000 for various local charities.
