KACC & TAP-Chicago Holiday Party and 5th Annual Toy Drive
Event Information
Description
UPDATE: Over 70 people registered! We are still looking for a few items on the toy registry at http://tgt.gifts/CMAA. If you or a friend have not purchased a gift yet and don’t have time to pick-up from the store, the gift cards which were requested by some of the older kid are a great item since they are delivered via email (they count as a toy).
Come join KACC and TAP-Chicago for our Holiday Party and 5th Annual Toy Drive at Nellcôte on Wednesday, December 20th! Inspired by the French chateau where the Rolling Stones recorded “Exile on Main Street” in the 70s, Nellcote is one of Chicago’s most luxurious and fun restaurant hotspots.
We are partnering with the youth program at the Chinese Mutual Aid Association and your toy donations will help make it a happy holiday for 80+ underprivileged children. Guests will enjoy complimentary appetizers as well as drink specials all night.
Join us to celebrate the holiday season the right way with good friends and for a good cause!
