Pass email address to Mail::send function Laravel

I'm trying to pass a variable with the to email address into the Mail:send function and I'm getting the following error because it cannot read the variable within the function.

Undefined variable: to

 $data = array(
        "name"=>"Foo Bar"
    );

$to = "[email protected]";

Mail::send('mail', $data, function ($message) {
    $message->from('[email protected]', 'Name');
    $message->subject("Subject Name");
    $message->to($to);
});

How could i pass the email address into the send function as it won't be a static email address i would be sending emails to?

Because of the way PHP's anonymous functions work, you have to specifically indicate each variable that should be included in to the function's scope, using the use keyword.

Mail::send('mail', $data, function ($message) use ($to) {
    $message->from('[email protected]', 'Name');
    $message->subject("Subject Name");
    $message->to($to);
});

Here's a link to more information in PHP's documentation.
