The event, on this year’s first Stag & Doe night, invited attendees to bring new, unwrapped toys for children in need, and Chestnut Hill delivered — big time. Donation bins overflowed as community members of all ages dropped off gifts, creating a heartwarming display of generosity.
“Chestnut Hill always shows up,” said Michael Sivel from The Sivel Group.
“The holidays are about connection, kindness, and supporting one another, and tonight was a perfect example of that,” added his colleague, Jennifer Rinella.
Matines Café added to the cozy charm, offering warm beverages and fresh baked pastries to share in the holiday cheer. Children roasted marshmallows, adults mingled, and the sound of laughter filled the air.
This annual tradition continues to grow, reminding the community that a small moment can make a big impact.
