The Night Ended as we raised those
Boxes full of Toys
Victory University’s Benefit Concert,
the ‘Toys for Tots’ helped to raise many boxes of toys for the
underprivileged kids.
Victory University’s Benefit Concert,
‘Toys for Tots’ was held at the University’s campus on December
13, 2013 evening 7.30 pm. The sleety weather was braved by everyone
who made their way to extend their helping hand and share the joy of
giving.
The stars of the evening were two women
– Alexis Grace, who sang her heart out and the other was the Mini
mouse that was sitting quietly in a box full of toys.
People Who made it
Others who made the occasion special
with their graceful presence were the Local24, the CW30, Jonny Pineda
with his guitar, the band, the United States Marine Corps (USMC), and
the concerned people who came with a lot of toys for children.
The concert and the entire event were
complete as the stage got glittered with the Christmas tree, lights,
music, and some special songs from Alexis Grace. The golden pink
light swept across the stage, the music was incredible and thoroughly
enjoyed by the audience, and the USMC. who made their way to Memphis
for the kids of this area.
Mini and Other Toys
Everyone who tried to be part of the
annual ‘Toys for Tots’ and the concert came with an unwrapped toy
for the kids and in return enjoyed the musical evening. The toys were
collected in boxes and wrapped safely.
The Mini mouse definitely grabbed
everyone’s attention. Even some grownups wanted to hold it for some
time. Imagine the kid who is going to hold it for real and keep it.
For that sheer joy on those faces, the event was organized and
fulfilled with the help from the US Marine Corps.
The Marines
The USMC visited the Victory University
campus after the Friday event to pick up the boxes of toys collected
on the event night. They will distribute the toys to the kids of
Memphis area to make the Christmas celebrations more enjoyable for
them.
See you Next Time!
The benefit concert is over now with
all our wishes fulfilled. But for the next year, the event will come
back to host another day of collecting toys for our tots. Victory’s
campus will be closed from tomorrow evening for Christmas holidays.
