Celebrity Holiday Tree Auction & Toy Drive

Posted by 365 Things Boston on Wed, Dec 02, 2015

"The 4th Annual Celebrity Holiday Tree Auction and Toy Drive Kick-off will be held Thursday, December 3rd at the Seaport Hotel. The evening will feature an auction of extraordinary Christmas trees lit and fully decorated by the Boston Celtics and Boston Bruins with priceless items from each team attached! This year’s auction will also include the chance to win a dinner with members of the real life ‘Spotlight’ team (who also had roles in the movie!)…and many more exclusive items.

100% of money raised from tickets sold and the auction and raffles will go to Christmas in the City

The Seaport Hotel will be providing tasty nibbles and a cash bar for guests to enjoy during the event; the hotel will again serve as a toy drop-off location for Christmas in the City, beginning Monday, November 30th. You can literally valet your toys, by pulling up to the valet and either handing them off or running them in to the lobby yourself, to make donating quick and easy!

Christmas in the City (http://www.christmasinthecity.org), a 100% volunteer organization, will hold its 27th Annual Holiday Party this year and is expecting to serve thousands more children this year – so they need more support than ever to meet the need. 5,000 children living in shelters, hotels or transitional housing will attend the celebration with their Mom or guardian. The following day, Christmas in the City will give out toys and clothing, serving 13,000 more children whose families have fallen on hard times and otherwise might find nothing under the tree.

Who: Celebrity guests include Santa Claus and Jake & Sparky Kennedy (founders of Christmas in the City) in addition to the many fabulous supporters of Christmas in the City!

Admission price is a donation of $20! Guests are also asked to please bring ONE toy to donate.
Tickets are available at https://citc2015.eventbrite.com
