Just as much as this month brings us celebration and festivities, it’s also the season of giving.

On December 21, David Barton and wife Susan Bartsch teamed up with fashion icons Marc Jacobs and Narciso Rodriguez, Susan Sarandon, hoteliers Ian & Tania Schrager, celebrity chef Art Smith and photographer Patrick McMullan to host the 8^th annual DavidBartonGym Toy Drive at their new Astor Place locale in New York City.

Guests were suggested to donate new toys for delivery to children’s hospitals and charities throughout New York City. Pairing philanthropy with celebration, the party certainly was the talk of the town: complimentary and festive cocktails were made readily available, remixes of the hottest tracks were spun, and guests received passes of up to one month at any DavidBartonGym.

Other notable guests included Amanda Lepore, Patrick Mcdonald, Michelle Harper and Michael Musto.
