HAVE YOURSELF A HEAVY METAL CHRISTMAS & TOY DRIVE FOR PHOENIX CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL

For the 13th year, Jen & Bryon present the toy drive for Phoenix Children's Hospital . The bands, The Blooze Bar and you combine to generate toys for the sick children at the PCH. Over 5,000 toys and thousands of dollars have been collected since its start. On Christmas Eve, this year's toys will be delivered with a giant Christmas card to show the love our music scene has for these kids and the work by the PCH. We are grateful to the artists and patrons that have helped to show them we care. And especially to Band Oasis Rehearsal Studio, who have sponsored the event since its inception.
Please bring a new, unwrapped toy to The Blooze Bar on Saturday, December 19th, between 6:00pm and 1:00 am. There is a requested donation of $10 at the door, and a collection box on site. You can also drop the toys off to Band Oasis, 1822 W. University in Mesa, during their normal business hours ( noon to 10:00 pm) from now through 12/18/2026. Be sure to thank James and Donna Koza for their efforts.
