The 2017 Unified Christmas Toy drive & Fundraiser

Join us for this after work event! Artists, Musicians, Promoters, businesses and organizations are coming together for one night to raise funds a good cause. We are doing a collaborative effort with the United States Marine Corps Toys 4 Tots, the American Legion, Marine Corps League and several other veteran organizations across the city among others to help collect new, unwrapped toys during the holiday season to give to less fortunate children for Christmas gifts as well as help raise funds for Soldiers Who Salsa, a nonprofit organization that uses movement therapy and dance to help enrich the lives of our wounded and injured veterans and active duty military. Let's help underprivileged children have a brighter Christmas. On Dec. 18th 2017 from 7pm to midnight, the Monday before Christmas, bring a new unwrapped toy and come dance and see a live Salsa concert sponsored by the Chicago International Salsa Congress. The Unified Chicago Salsa Orchestra (comprised of over 30 musicians) plus at least 6 DJs will be spinning the hottest Latin music. United States Marines will be present in uniform receiving your toys and taking photos with our guests. Tickets and door cover to the event is only $10 of which 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the veteran nonprofit organization as well as all of the toys collected will be given to the Marine Corps Toys 4 Tots foundation.
