Augusta---
A local tattoo shop is trying to give back and they need your help to do it. Folks at Aces and Eights Tattoo and Piercing on Wrightsboro Road started the event 3 years ago. Casey Campbell owns the parlor and has been taking donations of toys and money for the past several weeks. Last year they helped more than 30 children at MCG’s Children’s Center and this year they hope to help even more.

Casey Campbell, Owner of Aces and Eights Tattoo and Piercing: “Think about someone who needs something right now, something special, not just a toy. What you're giving these kids is something to keep their minds off of what they're going through. Whether it be chemotherapy, there family is having to be there 24 hours a day a month. Just to reach down and pull out a little bit of pocket change you might have, a little bit extra if you've already gotten your Christmas or you got your bonus.”

The toy run will begin at 11:00 a.m. at Aces and Eights Tattoo and Piercing on Wrightsboro Road. For more information call Casey Campbell at (803) 292-0411, Aces & Eights at (706-) 736-1188, Tiffany at (803) 257-8100 or at myspace.com/dantiff.
