Seaport Boston Hotel
The 3rd Annual Christmas in the City Kick-Off & Celebrity Holiday Tree Auction event will be Wednesday, December 3rd from 6pm-8pm at the Seaport Hotel. The evening will feature an auction of extraordinary Christmas trees lit and fully decorated by the Black and Gold’s left wing, #17 – Milan Lucic as well as a “Boston Strong” tree in memory of Mayor Thomas Menino – who was a huge supporter of Christmas in the City for over 20 years.
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 November 25th. 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 26th 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 12,000 more children whose families have fallen on hard times and otherwise might find nothing under the tree.
Admission price is a donation of $20! Guests are also asked to please bring ONE toy to donate. Tickets are available at http://citc2014.eventbrite.com
100% of money raised from this event will go to Christmas in the City, including ticket sales.
