Santa’s workshop will take over the LGBT Visitor Center in Miami Beach for the 5th Annual HoliGay Celebration and Toy Drive, Thursday, December 11, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Wannabe Santas from the entire community are invited to bring an unwrapped toy as a contribution to the Miami Beach Police Department’s Children’s Holiday Relief Fund for distribution to children in need. The LGBT Visitor Center is located at 1130 Washington Avenue in Miami Beach.
“Each year, the HoliGay Toy Drive grows and grows like a snowball rolling down a hill,†said Lori Lynch, executive director of the LGBT Visitor Center. “So much so, it might just snow during the event.â€
The jolly old elf himself will be making a special guest appearance and posing for selfies at the event which will feature complimentary cocktails by GREY GOOSE® Vodka, Bacardi brands and Barefoot Wine and Bubbly. A lavish buffet from Centerplate and Crepe Maker will be served against the backdrop of DJ/Producer Maximus 3000 playing holiday and contemporary favorites. Additional support will be provided by GAP Inc., which will furnish Santa’s helpers for the event, and the Miami-Dade Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (MDGLCC).
The HoliGay Celebration & Toy Drive is open to the public and admission is free with an unwrapped toy. To RSVP for the HoliGay Celebration & Toy Drive, email lori@gogaymiami.com.
The Miami-Dade Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce Foundation opened the country’s first-ever Chamber-sponsored LGBT Visitor Center in October 2010. The Center is open to the public seven days a week and has been the venue for special events for the MDGLCC, Miami Dade County Health Department, Yes Institute, Miami Gay & Lesbian Film Festival, Brazilian Film Festival and Miami Beach Gay Pride, just to name a few.
