MEMPHIS, Tenn. (November 26, 1997) - Belz Factory Outlet World - Las Vegas will host a kick-off celebration for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Henderson ToyWorks Drive December 2, 1997 at 4:00 p.m. Complete with entertainment by the Boys and Girls Club, Belz Factory Outlet World will also unveil amazing holiday decorations that will grace the interior of the mall.

The purpose of the ToyWorks Drive is to collect new gifts for the 3,000 members of The Boys and Girls Clubs of Henderson whose families may not be able to afford gifts during the holiday season. Last year's drive brought in hundreds of gifts for the youth of Henderson.

The ToyWorks Drive helps the club achieve their mission: to enable the youth of Henderson to develop and achieve their potential as human beings.

The decorations include a 25-foot Jack-in-the-box, beautifully decorated Christmas trees, a Santa's workshop and thousands of lights.
