We are no longer holding this event - thank you for 10 wonderful years!
Although we are no longer holding the Toys For Our Troops Holiday Celebrations, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to the brave men and women who serve/have served our country and to the families who support them. We deeply appreciate their courage, dedication, and sacrifices, and we are forever grateful for all they have given to protect our freedoms.
Thank you to the volunteers, donors and sponsors for an amazing 10 years of giving back through our Toys For Our Troops celebrations!!

Toys For Our Troops is an "Early Christmas" for up to 500 local military children, many who have a parent that is currently serving and will be away during the holidays, a parent that returned home with injuries, and tragically some that have lost a parent.
To celebrate the “Holiday Season” with all the children of our Active Duty, National Guard, Reserve, and Veteran families in the Carolinas while bringing some much needed love, support, cheer + joy to our local military children that have a parent presently deployed, injured or tragically killed in action.
To develop partnerships with national and local businesses, military non-profits, veteran organizations and the USO of NC to help grow the reach of our annual events year over year. To have a meaningful impact on the lives of our local military children by providing innovative, fun and exciting Holiday Celebrations at unique, local venues that are inclusive and encourage participation.
