'Twas A Successful Holiday Toy Drive!

Posted by Stephanie Petchers on

There's no better way to get into the holiday spirit than bettering the lives of those in need. This year, we kicked off the season with our very own Toy Drive to benefit the Boys & Girls Club of Boca Raton (a local branch of Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County) and boy, was it a success!

A huge thank you to all of the surrounding local businesses + our family & friends that helped secure toys, games and gifts to brighten the holidays for these special children.

The children just so happened to all be outside when we arrived to drop off the gifts and were so surprised! The smiles and thank you's we received were truly heartwarming. It was such a beautiful day and a beautiful reminder of what the holidays are really about.

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County's mission is to enable all young people, especially those who need it most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens, filling the gap between school and home for over 9,400 children ages 6-18. The youth take part in life-changing programs, prepare for college or a career after high school, and build supportive relationships with peers and caring adults in safe, welcoming, positive environments.
They strive to provide a world-class club experience that assures success is within reach of every young person who walks through their doors, with all members on track to graduate from high school with a plan for the future, demonstrating good character, citizenship, and living a healthy lifestyle.
Be merry, be bright + give back when you can. Happy Holidays!

 XO,
