GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - The Grand Rapids Griffins' popular Tip-A-Griffin fundraiser returns for its 10th edition on Tuesday, Oct. 25 from 6-8 p.m., when team players, coaches and hockey staff will trade in their jerseys for aprons to help serve and wait tables at all five Uccello's Ristorante locations in West Michigan.

Each of the five locations will include a raffle and a visit from the team's beloved mascot, Griff.
