Toys for Tots Gala II Brings Holiday Magic, Community, and Supercars Together at The Addison Park

On Thursday evening, December 4, 2025, Cars & Social proudly hosted Toys for Tots Gala II at the elegant Addison Park in Keyport, New Jersey, delivering an unforgettable night of generosity, style, and community spirit—all in support of the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program.

Despite chilly December temperatures, the event welcomed just over 100 guests and completely sold out, proving once again that the holiday spirit shines brightest when people come together for a meaningful cause. The parking lot itself became part of the spectacle, glowing with exotic cars—many adorned with festive Christmas vinyl decals by Wrap Innovations and custom LED lighting that illuminated the night. While these supercars don’t offer much storage space, their trunks, floorboards, and even passenger laps were filled with unwrapped toys, ready to be donated to children in need.

Inside, guests arrived dressed in semi-formal attire, making their way to the bar to enjoy light bites, cocktails, and conversation during the reception. The atmosphere blended upscale elegance with warmth and excitement, setting the tone for the evening ahead.

Dinner was served around 7:30 PM, and guests raved about the cuisine at Addison Park—an iconic venue best known for hosting premier weddings and upscale events. The culinary experience lived up to its reputation, further elevating the night.

Following dinner, Gunnery Sergeant John C. Sardine addressed the room with a heartfelt message. He expressed sincere gratitude to Cars & Social and all attendees for their generosity, announcing that over 1,500 toys were donated from this event alone—a powerful testament to what the community can accomplish together.

Cars & Social co-founder Joe Boscia then took the stage to thank guests, sponsors, and partners for an incredible year of events. He spoke about the growth of the Cars & Social community and shared excitement for what lies ahead in the years to come, reinforcing the organization’s mission of connection, passion, and giving back.

As the formalities concluded, the DJ set the mood with upbeat music infused with festive holiday twists, keeping the energy high throughout the room. While dessert was being served, Joe & Emilio from Cars & Social hosted the evening’s raffle drawings, much to the excitement of attendees.

Special thanks were extended to the evening’s generous raffle donors:

• McLaren North Jersey

• NJ Marines Toys for Tots Division

• Wolf Jewelers

• Just Saying Sport Fishing

• Boscia & Boscia Tax Firm

• Bentley of Central New Jersey

• Maserati of Central New Jersey

  
  

The raffle winners were incredibly grateful for the amazing prizes, adding yet another layer of joy to the evening. As the night wound down, guests enjoyed coffee, final conversations at the bar, and the shared feeling of having been part of something truly special.

Toys for Tots Gala II was more than just an event—it was a celebration of generosity, community, and the power of shared passion. With 100% of proceeds going directly to Toys for Tots and thousands of toys collected, the night ensured that many children will experience the joy of Christmas thanks to the Cars & Social family.
