First, we want to apologize for any confusion caused by our previous post! ❤️ We’ve made a small update to our giveaway instructions to make sure everyone knows exactly how to enter.

We’re still giving away a beautiful Kate Spade New York tote bag, with a comparable value of $499, and we’d love for you to have a chance to win! 🤍

🎟️ HERE’S HOW TO ENTER:

🎁 Bring a NEW, UNWRAPPED toy directly to our Courage to Call office.

✨ 1 toy = 1 raffle entry!

🎉 No limit on entries! The more toys you bring, the more chances you have to win!

📍 PLEASE NOTE: To be entered into the giveaway, toys must be brought directly to our office rather than our community toy donation drop-off locations.

Our community donation boxes are still accepting toys for the holiday drive, but raffle entries will be handled at our office.

🏆 The lucky winner will be announced at our Holiday Market!

At the end of the day, this giveaway is about so much more than winning a beautiful bag. It’s about coming together, giving back, and making the holidays a little brighter for the families we serve. ❤️

We may have walked in as finalists, but being recognized for the work we do and the people we serve already feels like something worth celebrating. 💜
