DreamLarge hosted the Rosemary Arts and Design District Holiday Bash on Dec 15.
The RADD Holiday bash invited the community to celebrate an evening of holiday cheer while supporting the Boys & Girls Clubs of Sarasota and DeSoto counties through a toy drive.
“Essentially, what we are trying to do is activate the Rosemary District because it’s so near and dear to our hearts,” DreamLarge Director Julia Groom said, adding that the company believes the Boys & Girls Club is a "wonderful organization and one that is worth supporting in our community.”
Because of lingering rainy weather, the scheduled group bike ride was canceled, but the festivities continued on indoors the DreamLarge office building. The guests mingled with drinks in hand and food by Sarasota Eatz and Cookies by the Graham.
“We want to celebrate Rosemary District and bring the community together. That’s why we do all of our events,” said DreamLarge Founder Anand Pallegar.
The Sarasota Music Conservatory gave a live performance playing holiday tunes as kids wrote letters to Santa.
