Pool Toss
TNDC’s 20th Annual Celebrity Pool Toss Raises $295,000 for Children and Families
On October 10, 2012, TNDC held its 20th Annual Celebrity Pool Toss at the historic Phoenix Hotel/Chambers Eat + Drink. More than 500 guests attended this wet and wild event, including corporate and community sponsors, civic and community leaders, and longtime TNDC supporters. Co-hosted by Lynne Marie Stewart (Miss Yvonne from The Pee-Wee Herman Show), and pinch-hitter Tori Ritchie (Cookbook Author and Blogger at TuesdayRecipe.com), the evening was a great success.
Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors and Tossee Supporters, we are proud to announce the event grossed more than $295,000 for children and families in the Tenderloin. Funds raised will go to provide meaningful programs and services that enhance the quality of life for low-income families and children living in the Tenderloin.
