Columbia Gears Up for Festive Fun with the 19th Annual Taylor Boys Christmas Extravaganza!
As the holiday season approaches its final stretch, Columbia is buzzing with excitement! This weekend promises to be vibrant and full of joy as the beloved Taylor Boys Christmas Extravaganza takes center stage. With its 19th annual concert on the horizon, this event is not only a vibrant celebration of music but also a heartwarming opportunity to give back to our community.
Sunny Skies and a Friendly Chill
Before diving into the merriment, let’s talk about the weather. Festive folks can look forward to sunny skies with temperatures climbing to a pleasant 47°F. As the day rolls on, a gentle breeze from the northeast at 5 to 10 mph will keep everyone feeling fresh. The night, however, will bring a cooler touch, dipping down to around 25°F. So, bundle up, grab your hot cocoa, and get ready to enjoy the holiday festivities!
Raising Funds for a Noble Cause
This year, all proceeds from the concert will benefit Toby’s Place, a vital resource for women and children in need. As part of the Oliver Gospel Mission, Toby’s Place offers hope and support to those facing poverty or homelessness. With previous events raising more than $38,000, the Taylor Boys have become champions of this noble cause.
“We rely heavily on the generosity of our community to provide support for the women and children at Toby’s Place. The Taylor Boys Christmas Xtravaganza is a key source of that support,” expressed Nicholas Charalambous, the Donor Relations Officer at Oliver Gospel Mission. “Sponsorship dollars and ticket sales will go directly to offering comforting private rooms, counseling, life-skills training, and so much more.”
In an inspiring year, Toby’s Place has supported over 80 women and more than 100 children, providing them shelter, meals, and valuable life-skills courses. The impact of this work shines through the lives they touch, making every ticket purchased a step toward positive change.
A Family Tradition of Music and Giving Back
Hello, music lovers! Get ready for a night full of fantastic performances as the Taylor family takes the stage. With the likes of Grammy-nominated Joe Taylor, his brother Steve Taylor, and Steve’s son Stephen Taylor, the event guarantees a memorable evening of soulful melodies and joyful singing. Additionally, local favorites like Drew Dixon, Eddie Speaker, and Deb Varn will offer their talents, making this an unforgettable experience!
“As someone who has lived in Columbia nearly all my life, this community means a lot to me,” shared Steve Taylor, managing partner of Wolfe & Taylor Realty. “We’ve always come together to create music and joy during the holidays, and the Taylor Boys Christmas Extravaganza allows us to give back to a community that has given so much to us.”
