For the Kid in All of Us, which delivers holiday gifts to children served by a number of area shelters, welcomed patrons and corporate sponsors at a recent bash at the Bill Lowe Gallery.
The annual Toy Party will be from 5:30 to 9 p.m. this Sunday, Dec. 7, at AmericasMart Atlanta downtown. It features food, drinks and a fantastic silent auction - while benefiting children in need throughout metro Atlanta and beyond.
More than 200 guests attended the patron event, enjoying a spread from Gloriosa Designs and taking in the gallery’s most recent installations from Gabriele Schnitzenbaumer and Hyunmee Lee.
This Sunday’s party will feature a silent auction of more than 200 items with a value of nearly $80,000.
Items include round-trip tickets from presenting sponsor Delta, along with tickets on as well as KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and mountain cabin and beach home vacations, cooking classes and gift certificates to local area businesses and restaurants.
Then there’s a special “mystery gift” from Lucasfilm, Ltd.
Entry into the event is one new, unwrapped toy or gift card of $15 or greater value. Organizers challenge guests to be extra-generous this year, with so many in need. And “holiday cocktail” attire is suggested.
Funds raised through The Toy Party & Silent Auction will benefit 15 Atlanta and North Georgia agencies that serve Georgia’s children in need.
For more information see the group’s web site.
