Together, We Helped Over 350 Local Kids!
This year’s Toy Drive was our most successful yet! With the help of our generous community, we filled our warehouse with more toys than ever before. Over 350 elementary school students in Bay County received Christmas gifts, making this holiday season one to remember.
Your support made this possible, and we can’t thank you enough for helping us brighten the holidays for families in need.
A Celebration of Giving Back
This wasn’t just a toy drive—it was a celebration of our incredible community! We believe that making a difference doesn’t just have to feel good; it can also be tons of fun.
With live music, a bouncy house for the kids, a low country boil, fresh oysters from 30A Oysters, and a festive photo booth, our 4th Annual Toy Drive was a way to do real good while celebrating together.
Behind the Scenes
How Your Donations Reached Local Kids
While the party was unforgettable, the heart of this event is making sure the toys get to the children who need them most. After the celebration, Gulf Coast Air Conditioning owner Drew Pollard and Coach Chester worked tirelessly, using trucks and trailers to deliver the toys to local schools.
Guidance counselors helped the team set up toys in school libraries and match them to kids’ wish lists. This hands-on approach is what makes our Toy Drive special—it’s not just about the gifts, but about ensuring every child feels the joy of the season.
Why We Do
What We Do
One child’s Christmas list said, ‘More food at home.’ This simple but profound wish reminds us why events like the Toy Drive are so important.
For some families, the holidays can be a difficult time. By coming together as a community, we’re able to not only bring joy to children but also provide hope and support for those who need it most.
Thank You to Everyone Who Made This Possible!
This event was a true community effort, and we’re so grateful to everyone who donated, attended, or helped organize the Toy Drive and Christmas Party. Special thanks to Coach Chester for his help with deliveries, and to 30A Oysters for providing fresh and delicious food.
Your generosity made this our biggest year yet. We’re already looking forward to what we can accomplish together next year!
