Jam for Tots Celebrates 10 Years with 2023 Toy Drive

The 2023 holiday season has arrived, and with it a spirit of giving and supporting those most in need in our local communities. Jam for Tots will once again be held at venues across New York State, bringing live music fans together for great shows while collecting toys to brighten the spirits of children statewide.

For 10 years, Jam for Tots has been held across New York State and the Northeast, and we celebrate this year with 10 venues around the state where fans are encouraged to bring an unwrapped toy for a child (under 13) to drop in the donation box. These toys will be brought to local charities within the venue’s community, to ensure that these toys brighten the day of children within the local area.

Shows will be hosted by multiple beloved venues, including Buffalo Iron Works, Bug Jar, Funk ‘n Waffles Syracuse, Lark Hall, Putnam Place, Stewart House, The Strand Theatre Hudson Falls, The Hollow Bar + Kitchen, The Sting (Oswego) and The Waterhole. We gratefully thank these venues for their support of this worthy cause.

Things kick off in Albany on November 22 at The Hollow Bar and Kitchen with two of Albany’s favorite artists – Glass Pony, with special guest Laura Leigh – joining together to celebrate Thanksgiving Eve.
