Celebrity-studded Giving Tuesday event brings holiday joy to over 2,000 local kids through sold-out fundraiser
Addison, Texas -- Stella Jet Experiences' Doing Good in Dallas gala, hosted on December 2 in celebration of Giving Tuesday, collected more than 10,000 toys and holiday gifts for North Texas children in need. Through the company's partnership with The World's Largest Toy Drive and Trina's Kids Foundation, the event directly benefited nearly 2,000 kids at the Dallas Toy Drive. The sold-out fundraiser was held inside the Stella Jets Private Hangar, and drew more than 200 guests for an evening of philanthropy and entertainment.
Following this year's success, Stella Jet Experiences will host Doing Good in Dallas again on December 1, 2026. People can already subscribe to receive updates on the event at www.doinggoodindallas.com.
Celebrity power meets community impact
Co-hosted by actor Charlie Sheen and media personality Lady Jade, the '90s and '00s-themed gala transformed the Addison aviation facility into an upscale celebration.
Dallas Cowboys players, television personalities Brian Austin Green, Sharna Burgess, and Chanel West Coast, entertainer and performers including rapper Twista and R&B singer Mario joined business leaders and philanthropists for the Giving Tuesday event.
"The heart and generosity that was in the room was as electrifying as the performances," said Tia Minzoni, president of Stella Jet Brands. "Everyone left fulfilled and elated to have been a part of this amazing evening."
The evening featured live performances, a DJ set by DJ Astronaut, and a live auction that culminated in a $40,000 winning bid for a VIP experience with Sheen. Proceeds funded Santa's Mini Mall, an interactive shopping experience where low-income families selected presents for their children using Santa Bucks rather than receiving handouts.
The campaign had an overwhelming record-breaking success, providing dignity and choice to families facing financial hardship during the holiday season.
Looking ahead
"Dallas and Hollywood came together and proved that we can move mountains when we all align for a common purpose," Minzoni said.
The event marks Stella Jet Brands' first major charitable initiative under its Stella Experiences division, which curates celebrity-hosted travel events and brand collaborations. For more information, visit www.stellajets.com or www.doinggoodindallas.com.
