The Chumash Casino Resort’s 10th annual Toys For Tots benefit concert on Saturday raised $25,000 for the Central Coast Marine Corps Reserve Toys For Tots campaign, which serves children in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties.
This year’s Toys For Tots benefit concert featured the Jamie O’Neal and Friends Acoustic Christmas show, led by the Australian-born country music star and up-and-coming artists, such as Rachele Lynae and Cali Rodi, in the 1,400-seat Samala Showroom.
Buellton’s Chelesa Chaput, who won the Rising Star singing competition at the Chumash Casino Resort in September, opened the show with the national anthem and her own performance.
