Madison is already calling and we hear you loud and clear. Gifts of Christmas is coming back bigger louder and full of love for the 608. Public submissions will be open November 18 through December 2 so everyone can lock in for holiday magic.

Mark your calendars and be ready to sign up, here is the direct link! https://www.madtownjamz.com/goxm/

Every year we serve hundreds of local kids with brand new toys free books and family photos with Santa. We are blessed to be right on track to raise what we normally do but the world around us is getting more expensive. Since starting during the global pandemic this community has already gifted more than $210,000 dollars in toys alone,  serving over 3200 children right here in Dane County.

The reality is, the numbers are shifting. What serving 800 kids cost us last year, may only reach 500 kids this year. And we know The River Food Pantry is feeling this economy too. That is why the partnerships that power this mission matter more than ever!  Inflation and politics are hitting every corner of this city and none harder than the families just trying to give their children a moment of wonder.

We are proud to welcome back our Presenting Sponsor FPC Live along with The River Food Pantry Madison Reading Project MidWest Family Madison and Back 2 Basics as we prepare to deliver joy to families who need it most.

Plus we have a brand new way to keep the giving rolling all year long. DJ Fusion x Oliphant Brewing introduce 608 Lifted Lemonade, a THC strawberry lemonade that raises money for Christmas with every can. Those 21+ and up can sip with purpose and #GetLiftedGiveBack knowing that each taste helps bring a child a moment of wonder.

So if you feel that Christmas spirit early this year you are not alone. Consider becoming a sponsor, donating new toys, or trying the lemonade that lifts the 608.

More details soon. Stay tuned. Stay generous. Stay Madison. 🎁✨

Love ya’ll
Fusion
