The Leslies' 37th Annual Toy Drive and Fundraiser Benefiting The Laurel Foundation

Friday, Oct 03

Please join Sam and Ashan Leslie for their very special Holiday evening affair at the Palm Springs Art Museum, December 6th, featuring a hosted bar, gourmet dinner, raffle, silent and live auctions, with Christmas carols and a visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus. It’s a cherished tradition for nearly four decades, bringing holiday cheer to families in need.

Guests will enjoy an evening of celebration from 6-10 PM, featuring a hosted bar and a gourmet buffet expertly curated by Celerity Chef Franco. Famed DJ/Emcee Brian Chester of Let’s Party L. A. will keep the energy high throughout the night, with entertainment including a raffle, plus silent and live auctions. As a special highlight, guests will also be treated to scheduled private docent-led tours (based on availability) of the Museum, an exclusive opportunity to explore its acclaimed collections during the event.

Individual tickets to the event are available for $250, including complimentary parking directly adjacent to the Museum entrance. Sponsor packages are also available. All proceeds support The Laurel Foundation's youth and families who often face emotional, social, and mental health challenges, allowing them to thrive, grow, and live authentically.

Celebrate the season of giving in a place where creativity, community, and holiday festivities come together. Let’s make this holiday brighter for everyone.

Tickets and Sponsorships are now available. CLICK HERE.
