DJCF’s Annual Christmas Party: A Day of Giving Back
ST. LOUIS, MO – The Demetrious Johnson Charitable Foundation proudly announces its annual ‘Sunday Funday of Giving.’ This cornerstone event is dedicated to bringing joy and support to St. Louis youth during the holiday season. Moreover, the celebration, which centers around fun Christmas activities, will take place on Sunday, December 21, 2025. This cherished tradition continues the foundation’s commitment to making a positive impact. Specifically, it hosts approximately 750 children for its annual Christmas Party and Toy Giveaway at the historic Union Station.
A Legacy of Giving Back
The late, great Demetrious Johnson first started the annual KIDSMAS party in 1993. His vision was to create a safe and joyous space for children. Here, they could experience the magic of the holidays, regardless of their circumstances. For over three decades, the foundation has honored his legacy by continuing this heartwarming event. Each year, the party brings together families, volunteers, and sponsors. As a result, they all share a common goal: to spread kindness and make holiday wishes come true for hundreds of children in the St. Louis area. Ultimately, this event is more than just a party; it’s a testament to the enduring power of community and the spirit of giving that Demetrious Johnson championed.
What to Expect at KIDSMAS 2025
This year’s KIDSMAS Christmas Party will be held at Union Station. The venue is located at 1820 Market Street, St. Louis, MO 63103, and the event runs from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.

The atmosphere will surely be bright and merry, offering a memorable experience for all who attend. Please note, you must present a ticket for entrance. This ensures a well-organized and enjoyable day for every child.
DJ’s Golden Tickets: A Special Surprise
In loving memory of the foundation’s founder, KIDSMAS 2025 will once again feature the ‘DJ’s Golden Tickets’ giveaway. Hidden within the children’s gift bags will be 21 special Golden Tickets. The lucky recipients of these tickets will then have the unique opportunity to select a very special, high-value gift. This tradition adds an extra layer of excitement to the day. Furthermore, it honors Demetrious Johnson’s love for creating extraordinary moments for the children he served.
