With the holiday season approaching, we can’t help but reflect on the success of last year’s event and the incredible community support that made it possible. The 6th Annual Mixer & Toy Drive was a night filled with joy, generosity, and unforgettable entertainment, and it’s thanks to our community, sponsors, and everyone who joined us that we were able to make such a powerful impact.
A Look Back at the Highlights of Last Year’s Event: Our 2023 - 6th Annual Mixer & Toy Drive was an inspiring example of what can happen when a community comes together. From toy donations to entertainment, the night was packed with excitement and heartwarming moments. Here’s a look at what made last year’s event such a huge success:
Overflowing Toy Boxes: One of the most remarkable aspects of last year’s event was the generosity of our attendees. Thanks to their donations, our toy boxes were filled to the brim, and we were able to provide gifts to countless children in need. This overwhelming show of support demonstrated the power of our community and the difference we can make together.
A Night of Festive Entertainment with Texas Dream/Sueño Tejano RGV: The evening took to new heights, bringing guests together in the spirit of celebration and joy. Leading the festivities was the incredible Texas Dream/Sueño Tejano RGV, a band that perfectly captures the energy of South Texas. Known for getting guests on their feet, Texas Dream played a fantastic mix of popular country, Tejano, and alternative hits that had everyone dancing the night away. Their lively performance brought an extra layer of fun to the evening, uniting guests in song and dance and creating an atmosphere filled with joy and togetherness.
Their energy and talent make them the perfect band for any event, and we’re thrilled to have had them as part of the Mixer & Toy Drive. The band’s music reminded us all of the power of community spirit and the joy that comes from celebrating together.
Special Guests and Holiday Cheer: Appearances by holiday favorites like Santa and the Grinch, adding a festive touch to the evening. These characters brought smiles to the faces of guests of all ages and contributed to the cheerful, holiday-themed atmosphere. The presence of Santa, the Grinch, and other special guests created a night that was both memorable and magical, reminding us all of the importance of coming together to spread holiday cheer.

The Power of Sponsorship
While the dedication of individuals played a huge role in the success of last year’s event, we owe special thanks to our sponsors. Sponsorship is a key component of the HCBBA Mixer & Toy Drive, enabling us to host a memorable event while amplifying its impact. Here’s how sponsorship makes a difference:
Enhancing the Event Experience: Sponsorship allows us to elevate the experience for everyone involved, from the quality of the entertainment to the event’s organization and festive details.
The presence of this fantastic band wouldn’t have been possible without the generous contributions of our sponsors, who helped make last year’s event a night to remember!
Increasing Community Visibility: Sponsors gain valuable visibility within our community by supporting the Mixer & Toy Drive. Their involvement demonstrates their commitment to giving back, making a positive impact, and strengthening our community.
By contributing to the event, our sponsors show that they’re dedicated to causes that matter, and the community sees them as leaders in supporting local initiatives.
Expanding the Event’s Reach and Impact: Thanks to sponsorship support, we’re able to provide more toys, support more families, and create a larger, more impactful event. This extends beyond the joy of the evening itself—it’s a contribution to families who may be facing hardships during the holiday season.
Our sponsors’ generosity allows us to provide gifts to more children, ensuring that they experience the joy and magic of the holidays.
Spread the Word: You don’t have to be a major sponsor or donate large amounts to make a difference. Simply sharing information about the event with your friends, family, and social networks can have a huge impact. The more people who know about the event, the greater the turnout and the more toys we can collect.
