GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The 18th edition of the Grand Rapids Griffins’ popular Tip-A-Griffin fundraiser will be held this coming Monday, Nov. 16 from 6-8 p.m. at four Peppino’s locations in West Michigan. Players, coaches, and hockey operations staff members will help serve tables and bartend during the two-hour event.

In addition to collecting diners’ donations to the Griffins Youth Foundation, Griffins personnel will wear personalized aprons that will be autographed and made available through a silent auction.

A raffle among the four locations (Allendale, downtown Grand Rapids, Jenison, and Kentwood) will feature an array of prizes, including an overnight stay at Amway Grand Hotel, a Lucas Raymond signed puck, an overnight stay and play package at Gun Lake Casino Resort, a Riley Greene signed baseball, and much more. Visit griffinshockey.com for the full list of prizes. Tickets are $5 each, $10 for three, and $20 for 10. Fans unable to attend can make a donation to the event through griffinskids.org. 

All proceeds will benefit the Griffins Youth Foundation. Over its previous 17 versions, Tip-A-Griffin raised more than $130,000.
