The Toy Foundation™ invites toy professionals to swing into LA fall previews with a night of networking, friendly competition, and giving back at its Golf & Give FUNdraiser, taking place Tuesday, September 9 at 6 p.m. at Topgolf El Segundo.
As part of The Toy Association’s 2025 LA Fall Preview® Market Week events, the evening will bring the industry together to support children in need. The event will raise critical funds to support The Toy Foundation’s disaster relief programs, including efforts to aid children and families impacted by California wildfires.
Tickets are now available, whether you're teeing off in the tournament or cheering from the sidelines. A $150 golf ticket includes tournament play in an assigned bay, food, premium drinks, and an event gift bag. For $100, spectators can enjoy access to the lounge area, take part in a hole-in-one contest, and network with industry peers — no golf skills required.
Sponsorship opportunities are also available, ranging from “Presenting” and “Vision” partnerships to à la carte opportunities. To purchase tickets or explore sponsorships, contact Kevin Colman, director of development at The Toy Foundation.
To learn more about The Toy Foundation and get involved, visit ToyFoundation.org or contact TTF staff.
The Toy Association’s Toy Building in El Segundo will open on August 1, 2025, with temporary showrooms opening September 1. LA Fall Preview® Market Weeks, featuring dedicated educational and networking activities, will take place from September 8 to 19. Click here for more information.
