Ward and Smith is proud to sponsor the Buncombe County Bar’s 2025 Holiday Party & Toy Drive on Friday, December 12.
This cherished annual tradition brings together members of the local legal community to celebrate the season, strengthen connections, and support meaningful causes in Western North Carolina.
This year’s event will be held at The Venue in downtown Asheville, beginning at 5:30 p.m. with cocktails and appetizers. At 6:30 p.m., Bar President Susan Russo Klein will share holiday greetings before an evening featuring a full bar, hors d’oeuvres, and a festive buffet.
In the spirit of giving, the Bar will once again collect new toys and new winter apparel—including coats, hats, gloves, and sleeping bags—to benefit Santa Pal. Attendees may also make donations to Pisgah Legal Services during the event.
Ward and Smith is honored to support this gathering that celebrates the work, service, and camaraderie of the Buncombe County Bar.
