About this Event
About the Event
The 2nd Annual CREW Christmas Toy Drive is back — bringing the community together to spread joy, love, and generosity across the D.C. area. After raising over $10,000 in toys last year, this year’s mission shines even brighter: Supporting Parents of Children with Autism.
Join us for a heartfelt and inclusive holiday celebration featuring:
✨ Music & Entertainment
✨ Celebrity guests & special appearances
✨ Sensory-friendly activities
✨ A live toy collection benefiting families supported by Laila’s Gift
Together, we’re not just giving toys — we’re giving hope, connection, and holiday magic to families who deserve it most.
RSVP Needed
This is a free community event, and all families are welcome to attend. We kindly ask that you RSVP in advance so we can plan for staffing, activities, gifts, and overall logistics. Your registration helps us create the best experience for every child and family.
Toy Donation Request
Please bring a new, unwrapped toy to contribute to our holiday toy drive. Every gift goes directly to the families of children with autism in our community.
Inclusive Event Experience
To create a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all families, the event will be offered in two time options. Please select the time that best fits the needs of your child and family:
12:00 PM – 2:00 PM: Sensory-Friendly Early Access
The first half of the event is dedicated to families of children with autism who may benefit from a quieter, calmer environment. This allows them to enjoy photos with Santa, activities, and the space at their own pace before the crowd grows.
2:00 PM – 4:00 PM: General Admission
The second half of the event is open to all families, friends, and community supporters who want to join in the celebration and contribute to our mission.
Our goal is to create a joyful, inclusive, and comfortable experience for every child and parent attending.
