This will be the 3rd year of the event that the organizers hope to make annual.

Sanford American Legion Post 443 has partnered with members of the community to make this happen.

The event is a fundraiser for Toyz for Kids, a group created by Legion members, whose mission is to provide toys to the children of Midland County during the holiday season. The toys are distributed to the children through Midland County Public Schools, North and West Midland Family Centers, and through the Santa House at Sanford Centennial Museum, where the kids come through the magical Santa House, meet Santa and are assisted by his elves to pick out a toy.

Tickets include Italian buffet dinner, dj and dancing, self-serve Christmas themed photo op,access to an amazing silent auction and fun raffles all evening long!

There will be a cash bar as well.

The dress code is “come as you are” or you can have fun with the mafia theme!

Tickets cost $30 per person and are available to purchase online here:

Or you may purchase them in person at Briggs in Sanford with cash if you prefer.

The event takes place on Friday, December 5, 2025 at Sanford American Legion Post 443 at 2080 N Meridian Rd, Sanford MI 48657. Doors now opening at 6:30 PM. Must be 18+ to attend.
