All For Kids 2024 Holiday Gift Drive Brings Joy to Families Nationwide

Holiday magic shined brightly this season, thanks to the incredible generosity that powered the All For Kids 2024 Holiday Gift Drive. Under the theme “Let’s Grow Joy Together, One Gift at a Time,” the event brought smiles to nearly 2,100 children and their families nationwide.  Over $65,000 worth of toys, clothing, and surprises made their way into the hands of children, turning holiday wishes into reality.

A Season to Remember

Four of our program sites hosted joyful in-person giveaways, where families were welcomed into a festive atmosphere and children got to choose a gift just for them while others got their gifts delivered. Hundreds of bicycles, skateboards, and helmets delighted kids of all ages in our Foster Care and Relative Support Services program.  One parent shared, “This program made our holiday season brighter. Thank you for bringing so much happiness to our family!”

Generosity in Action

Our Platinum “Santa Sponsor,” Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, made this year’s event unforgettable. Their generous donations, combined with hands-on support from their team, helped create a seamless and joyful experience. Volunteers wrapped gifts, organized the event, and even got to witness the pure joy on children’s faces. “This was the highlight of our year,” shared a Paul, Weiss volunteer.  Other sponsors include Church of the Chimes, CHP Palmdale, Business Inside the Game (BIG), Employees from Gallagher Insurance and Morrison and Foerster LLP, Downtown Financial Group, the Children’s Action Network and other kind-hearted individuals and families who wanted to put a smile on children’s faces.
