Tip-A-Griffin - Details

DATE: Monday, Dec. 1, 2025

LOCATIONS: Four Peppino's restaurant locations (see lists of locations and personnel at the bottom)

ARRIVAL TIME: No later than 5:45 p.m. The event runs from 6-8 p.m.

DRESS: Casual. You'll be given a personalized apron to wear when you arrive.

WHO: All players, coaches, and hockey ops staff. You're welcome to bring your significant other and kids as well.

WHAT YOU'LL DO: Help Peppino's staff wait tables and bartend to raise tips and donations for the Griffins Youth Foundation. Families from the foundation will be at each location as well to sell raffle tickets. Fans will be bidding on your autographed aprons in a silent auction, so be sure to talk it up to make sure your apron gets the highest bid and crush your teammates for a good cause. Once the event ends at 8 p.m., Peppino's will provide pizza for anyone who wants to stay and eat.

QUESTIONS: Contact Alex Eisen (701) 441-3830 in advance, or see your Griffins staff representative at the restaurant.
