Community Toys for Tots Christmas Party

Helmer Dance Studio's community party is an official Toys for Tots event with a U.S. Marine in dress blues accepting the gifts!

There will be a very special Christmas Event happening on Saturday, December 8 from 4:00-7:00pm at the Helmer Dance Studio!

HDS is honored to be an official Toys for Tots Event location and have decided to turn it into a community party! There will even be a U.S. Marine there in dress blues accepting the gifts!

Admission to this event is an unwrapped toy for a child up to age 12. Toys for Tots prefers not to accept realistic looking weapons and gifts with food. All donations stay in St. Croix County. Pre-teen/teens are groups for which shopping is especially difficult. In the past, items purchased for these groups have included, but are not limited to: sporting equipment/bags/balls; books, backpacks, cosmetics, purses, watch/wallet gift sets, bath gift sets, board games, radio control cars/trucks, hand-held electronics, skateboards/helmets, curling irons, hair straighteners, and hair dryers.
