Big Brothers Big Sisters of Mid-Florida hosted a successful Holiday Party this past Saturday for 150 children, volunteers and parents. Over 300 toys and gifts were donated by local community members and businesses to the children, who might not receive gifts from elsewhere this holiday season. Bigs, Board Members and volunteers were honored for their role in changing the lives of local children, and Gator football players John Brantley, Duke Lemmens, and Rick Burgess signed autographs and took pictures with the kids. Even Santa Claus made a special visit!
Thanks to everyone who donated, volunteered, or spread the word about the toy drive. Please support these local businesses who made the Holiday Party happen and put smiles on the faces of over 80 kids!
