DreamLarge, the first registered benefit corporation on the Gulf Coast of Florida, is excited to announce a RADD Holiday Bash, a purposeful evening event in the Rosemary District celebrating the holidays and supporting those in need through a toy drive for local nonprofit, Boys and Girls Club of Sarasota and Desoto Counties. On Thursday, December 15 from 5-8 pm, multiple free events will take place around DreamLarge (513 Central Avenue, Sarasota, FL 34236) including a festive group bike ride (pre-registration required), a live performance by the Sarasota Music Conservatory, DJ Ba$$god slinging holiday tunes, plus drinks and local food trucks including Great Heights Creamery, Cookies by the Graham, and Sarasota Eatz. All are encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy to DreamLarge in support of the Boys and Girls Club. Since 1970, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Sarasota and DeSoto Counties have played an integral role in the Sarasota County community, providing daily programs and services to thousands of young people. The mission of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Sarasota and DeSoto Counties is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. The entire community of visitors and bike riders can support the Boys & Girls Club by bringing new, unwrapped toys to the party and participating in the free evening festivities. BLVD Bike Rides, a group bike ride, will offer free participation and VEO bike rentals in exchange for toys. Thanks to the generosity of the City of Sarasota and its new VEO program, all VEO bikes are being provided free of charge.
