Vancouver, BC – This year, Donnelly Hospitality Management (DHM) gets right into the spirit of Christmas giving. The hospitality industry leader is conducting their 8th Annual Toy Drive in partnership with the Salvation Army and the Donnelly Fund at Republic Nightclub on Tuesday December 15th from 8pm – 12pm.

The 8th Annual Toy Drive ensures a special Christmas for children in need across the Lower Mainland. DHM is giving a $50 Toys ‘R’ Us gift certificate to each employee, along with suppliers, close industry partners and VIP customers —over 400—to buy gifts for underprivileged kids of all ages. Gift certificate recipients are encouraged to get into the spirit and go beyond the $50; DHM will match all donations added to the $50 gift certificate. With sights set high, the caring company is aiming to donate over $30,000 worth of toys this year.

The Toy Drive is the most anticipated event of the year for DHM and includes a chic and cheerful Christmas Cocktail Party at Republic, where the goods go to the kids. Party goers will bring their unwrapped gifts, receive Christmas cocktails and complimentary appetizers, and enjoy live 80s synthpop hits from house band One Night Stand. As the party plays on throughout the night, the gifts continue to pile high from DHM staff, partners and friends who come out to support the kids.

The Annual Toy Drive has become one of the largest in the city, in which DHM challenges other companies to support this highly anticipated event and promotes goodwill within the company by encouraging staff to celebrate the holiday spirit of giving.
