While the #1 reason DMS hosts the Ball every year is to provide our guests with more fun than is allowed in most states, our guests also know that our “Party With A Purpose” theme extends our good times far beyond this spectacular Ball. A VERY close second reason for our Ball is to generate truckloads of toys that are used to delight thousands of underprivileged children in Dallas/Fort Worth region during the holiday season. So, each of our guests is requested to bring an unwrapped toy valued at $35 or more, knowing that their gifts may be the only presents these kids will receive for Christmas. The toys are distributed through Love For Kids, Inc., a non-profit organization that directly supports underprivileged children in the DFW region. They will distribute the toys on Saturday, December 12th at the Annual Love for Kids Christmas Party. Approximately 3,500 children are brought to the party in buses and vans and the toys are loaded into their vehicles while the kids enjoy the games, hay rides, food, and prizes at their Christmas Party. At 1:00 PM, a literal “sea” of kid’s race back to the buses to get their toys. The look of anticipation on their faces reveals the fun and spirit of Christmas in a way that is truly heart-warming. Over 300 volunteers are needed to conduct this party, so please consider volunteering at the Toy Collection area. The remaining toys are given to other charitable organizations that then distribute them to thousands of children.
