Toys for Joys is this Friday
I wanted to give another shout out for this year’s Toys for Joys celebration which will take place this Friday, December 7th at the Revere Hotel in Boston. Unlike most fundraisers, this event is devoid of rubber chicken dinners and long speeches. Organizers do ask that anyone who buys a ticket also purchase 3 gifts:
- one for tots (3-months to 5 yrs)
- tweens (6-11 yrs)
- teens (12-18yrs)
If your last name begins with A-M you purchase toys for a girl and if your last name begins with N-Z purchase gifts for boys. Gifts should be unwrapped and will be placed under the tree.

Toys for Joys, Inc. is a non-profit, 100% volunteer, charitable organization that raises funds from individual and corporate sponsors. We organize social events to collect and donate new toys and gifts for underprivileged children and teens.

SSRun 2018 registration is now open
The 18th annual SSRun will take place on Saturday, December 8th
The SSRun began in Boston in 2000 with 5 guys just looking to spread some holiday spirit by running through Back Bay in only Santa hats and Speedos. Since then it has grown to include 700 men and women each year and has become an annual holiday tradition that has hosted thousands of participants who have helped to raise nearly $2 million for local children in need.
Long time readers of this blog will be familiar with this Boston tradition that has been replicated in many cities around the U.S. If you live in Boston and are interested in learning more visit their website, ssrunners.org.
