The Most Wonderful Event Of The Year!

“Coats For Kids”

Just Friends Giving, Charity Without The Red Tape

The 8th annual Sandy Hook Elves Holiday Gift Drive will be held next Sunday, December 4 from 12PM to 3pm at Bahrs Landing  in Highlands.

There is no cost to attend the event.  Guest are invited to bring new, unwrapped coats, jackets, sweatshirts, footballs, basketballs, skateboards, gift cards or cash. The gifts are turned over to Long Branch school administrators who distribute them to the parents and guardians of 13 through 18 year old students of the Long Branch school system, based on their needs.

All are welcome, including children of all ages.

Bahrs is providing chowder, seafood chili, and vegetarian soup  free of charge. There will be a cash bar.

Entertainment will be provided by Bahrs’ best Karoke singers, who happen to be very good!

“Sandy Hook Elves” and “Coats for Kids” is the brainchild of Atlantic Highlands resident Dale Distasio.  Over the years the event has grown by word of mouth as other community groups, like the American Legion posts in Highlands and Keyport, started to participate.

There’s no 501 c3 involved. No administrative costs and no tax deductions. 100% of the gifts make it to kids.
