More about the 2020 Holiday Party

Toys for Tots Collection Goes Online: The Toys for Tots drive has always been a cherished tradition at Explore Asheville’s holiday gathering. This year, the need for donations to serve our community’s children is greater than ever. Though we won’t be able to collect toys in person, you can still donate online here.

Join Us in a Welcome-to-Asheville Holiday Toast to Vic! Before logging on for our 2020 Holiday Party, grab a snack and your favorite local beverage (or whip up a holiday cocktail, using these recipes from Sovereign Remedies’ Charlie Hodge for inspiration). We’ll join together for a holiday toast to our new President & CEO Vic Isley!
