Philanthropik, an exclusive holiday reception led by Zac McDaniels, was held Dec. 13 at the Mirage, 401 W. Baltimore St. The event provided the opportunity for many of Baltimore’s Black professionals to donate toys while having a good time together. The legendary DJ KID CAPRI rocked the party. Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown was the honorary host and the Baltimore Ravens’ Ray Rice the special guest host. The toy drive benefits the Ronald McDonald House.

Bicycles and wagons. AFRO halls were not only decked, but filled to capacity and AFRO professionals became Mrs. Santa’s elves and gave themselves over to the
magic of the moment.
