Our annual TOY Drive has become a premier LGBTQ+ holiday gathering in the Greater Philadelphia region, where LGBTQ+ community members come together to share holiday spirit and celebrate the progress we’ve made as a community. Last year’s event brought more than 250 together for an unforgettable night of fun, laughter and community support!

​

The event will take place at the African American Museum in Philadelphia, the first institution built by a major United States city to house and interpret the life and work of African Americans.

​

The event includes an open bar with a specialty martini, hors d'oeuvres, a silent auction, our 2019-2020 LGBTQ+ Emerging Needs grant checks presentation, music by DJ Carl Michaels (who has been making Philly’s LGBTQ+ community dance for 20+ years), and access to the museum's gallery spaces for attendees to celebrate the history, heritage and culture of African Americans.

​

Your attendance and generous contribution to this timeless event will help amplify our efforts to empower and advance the LGBTQ+ community through grant-making, scholarships, advocacy, community leadership development and education.
