Guests brought toys for children and helped support the Casimiro Global Foundation during “A Caribbean Christmas Night” on Friday, Dec. 21, at La Palma Restaurant & Bar, 116 Alhambra Circle.

The festivities began as guests walked the “toy drive red carpet” to drop off their gifts and continued with a live band and DJ George Ferrero providing the music all night.

Special guests included Juan P. Casimiro, chairman and founder of the Casimiro Global Foundation, and his wife Belgica. BP Media and Partners and Freedom Concierge Services joined forces to organize the event and help put a smile on a child’s face this holiday.
