Join us for an enchanting evening of emerald opulence at our 20th Anniversary Mark Carroll and Friends Toy Drive holiday soiree! The night will feature a talented DJ, a glamorous red carpet reception with photo opportunities, delectable hors d'oeuvres, an exciting silent auction, chances to win raffle prizes, and a well-stocked cash bar offering exquisite specialty cocktails.

 

One lucky guest will have the chance to drive away with a 3-year lease of a BMW X3, courtesy of Your Atlanta Area BMW Centers. The BMW X3 will be the centerpiece of our live auction.

Attire for the evening: We invite you to grace us with your most elegant holiday attire (black tie encouraged and glamorous/sophisticated style).

 

In the spirit of giving, we kindly request that you bring a new toy along with your ticket, or as many as your heart desires. Let's brighten the holidays for as many Atlanta children as we can. Our wish list includes bikes, dolls, cuddly teddy bears, warm jackets for teenagers, footballs, and soccer balls, though all new toys are warmly welcomed. Rest assured, every donated toy will find its way to the Georgia Division of Family and Children Services (DFACS) and MUST Ministries.

 

Important Note: Please refrain from wrapping the toys, as DFACS needs to inspect them before they reach the eager hands of children. Thank you for your understanding.

 

Hurry, as there are only 400 tickets available for this year's exclusive annual event. This event has SOLD OUT the past 4 years!!!  Secure yours before they vanish. Remember, all tickets and donations are tax-deductible.

 

Parking: There is now a parking deck available close to the venue ($10 per vehicle).  Using rideshare services is still encouraged especially if you plan to partake in our festive adult beverages.
