DVLF’s TOY Returns To Spread Holiday Cheer

The Delaware Valley Legacy Fund’s TOY event is celebrating nine years on Saturday, December 5, and community members are invited to make the annual fundraiser a little more merry this season by purchasing a ticket and an unwrapped toy.

On average, over 400 guests attend the popular mixer that provides toys to benefit local children in need during the holiday season. Party goers bring an unwrapped toy which is donated to patients in the Special Immunology Service at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia or youth served by ActionAIDS.

This year’s TOY will, once again, take place at Old City’s Fire and Ice starting at 7 pm, and will feature plenty of dancing, a silent auction, cocktails, and light bites. In addition to all of the toys that will be collected for children, proceeds from the event will support DVLF’s campaign to provide support for LGBTQ organizations in the region.

Tickets for the evening start at $75 can be purchased by visiting the DVLF website. Make sure to check out our photo spread from last year’s event to see the good-looking crowd who took part in the festivities.
