Marines collect toys and donations for the Toys for Tots campaign in 2013. (Mark Duncan/Associated Press) A Pittsburgh breakfast restaurant had planned to hold a Toys for Tots event alongside the far-right extremist group Proud Boys this week. But the event, scheduled to be held at the Crack’d Egg restaurant in the Brentwood borough, was without permission of the Marine Corps-affiliated charity.
