Atlantic Marine will host its 10th annual Stuff a Boat Party on Saturday, November 14, 2026, from 5 to 9 p.m. at 520 Dunlawton Avenue in Port Orange. The holiday celebration invites the community to help fill one of Atlantic Marine's boats with new, unwrapped toys, with proceeds going to Volusia County Toys for Tots. Admission is $10 at the door plus one new, unwrapped toy per person. The evening features live music by Are Friends Electric, food trucks, raffles and a live auction.
The event has grown each year. Last year, about 400 guests helped collect roughly 3,000 toys and raise nearly $70,000 for Toys for Tots. In Volusia County, Toys for Tots distributed 46,978 toys and supported 15,664 children. The milestone 10th anniversary underscores the sustained community commitment to local children in need, with the cumulative impact of a decade of donations likely reaching tens of thousands of toys and hundreds of thousands of dollars.
"Stuff a Boat is more than just a party; it's a community coming together to make Christmas brighter for children in need," said Kristen Wiles of Atlantic Marine. "As we celebrate our 10th year, we are incredibly grateful for the generosity of our sponsors, local businesses, and community members who continue to make this event so special. Every toy donated makes a difference, and that's what it's all about." The event not only provides immediate holiday assistance but also strengthens community bonds and supports local businesses that sponsor and participate.
Sponsorship opportunities are still available. Businesses interested in sponsoring the event can call 386-852-1119. For more information, visit atlanticmarinefl.com/toys-for-tots.
