About the 26th Annual 2024 100BMC Holiday Toy Drive

Join the 100 Black Men of Chicago, Inc. (100BMC) for a night of music, dancing, and fun to celebrate the holiday season, as we strive to assist those who are less fortunate. Tickets include complimentary beverages by Molson Coors Beverage Company until exhausted. Pass hors d’oeuvres will be available until exhausted.

You must be at least 21 or older to attend. No tickets will be sold at the door.

The 100BMC Holiday Toy Drive collects thousands of dollars in toys, coats, and gift donations. Funds raised to support this act of community kindness and engagement are used to purchase additional gifts and personal necessities for women and children in homeless shelters, community outreach organizations, and health centers to make the holiday season brighter for children and families experiencing a difficult period in their lives.

There will be a special performance by Evrod Cassimy:
