This event isn’t just a year-end gathering. It’s a chance for our industry to support a local organization doing incredible work: The Bridge Over Troubled Waters Children’s Program , also known as The Bridge for Kids . The program provides safety, stability, and support for children affected by crisis and family violence, and the toys donated at this event bring comfort and joy during what can be a difficult time.

We invite everyone attending to bring a new, unwrapped toy to contribute. Every donation—big or small—helps brighten the holidays for a child who needs it most. Whether you’re stopping by after work or planning to stay for the evening, your participation makes an impact. Together, we can help ensure that the kids served by The Bridge for Kids feel seen, supported, and celebrated this season.

In addition to supporting a meaningful cause, the event will feature:

• Networking with industry peers and partners
• A festive holiday atmosphere at Schafer’s
• A final opportunity to connect before the year wraps up

Community is at the heart of everything we do, and this event brings that spirit front and center. We’re grateful to our partners, sponsors, and every attendee who chooses to be part of this effort.

Join us on Thursday, December 4th, and let’s close out 2025 by giving back—and by strengthening the relationships that make our industry strong.
