Donate to our 2nd Annual Toy Drive for local children in Los Angeles!

My name is Devin Kirkwood; I am a student-athlete at UCLA, raised in a single-parent household by my mom. Growing up, I was always taught about the importance of giving back to my community, which helped shape me into who I am today. This is the 2nd year that I have partnered up with other nonprofit organizations to collect toy donations and money to help purchase various Christmas toys for children within the County of Los Angeles.

I have lived in the County of Los Angeles my entire life and have personally watched my mom, family, and friends take the necessary steps every year to secure unique Christmas gifts for inner-city youth in hopes of making their holiday season special. Many of the children who showed up to the Toy Drive last year were so excited to receive the gifts that were collected before the scheduled Winter Celebration. The reason I am requesting your support is that it’s important to me that I lead by example as it relates to giving back on a regular basis with your assistance. I also find it very essential to share my experiences as a College Student-athlete with aspiring student-athletes from my community. I pray that this partnership will inspire other student-athletes to use their NIL platform to start their foundation and take the necessary steps to give back to the community that poured into them.

Your donation to this amazing cause will allow the Devin K. Kares Foundation an opportunity to gift a child with a special toy that they were not expecting to get during this Holiday Season. Most importantly we will be able to place an amazing smile on every child that is able to receive a toy at the upcoming Winter Celebration.Happy Holidays, and God Bless!
