Spreading Holiday Joy: The Urban Trendsetters and iHeart Radio Toys for Tots Giveaway Brings Smiles to Over 1,500 Families

Sharon S Gordon January 10, 2025

Columbus, OH – The Toys for Tots Giveaway was an incredible success, spreading joy and holiday cheer to over 1,500 families in the Linden community and at Total Man Ministries Church. This heartwarming event was a testament to the power of collaboration and generosity during the holiday season.

The giveaway would not have been possible without the support of our amazing sponsors. A special thank you goes to Dawn Redman of Great Minds Academy, whose leadership and dedication played a key role in organizing the event. We also extend our gratitude to Toys for Tots of Champaign and Clark County, whose contributions of toys brought countless smiles to children’s faces. Additionally, we acknowledge the efforts of Principal White and his staff of the Columbus Preparatory School, our volunteers, community partners, and donors who came together to make this event a success.

Families were greeted with warm smiles and a sense of community as they picked up toys to brighten their children’s holiday celebrations. The Linden neighborhood and Total Man Ministries were alive with excitement and gratitude, reminding us of the importance of giving back and uplifting one another.

This year’s Toys for Tots Giveaway not only provided gifts but also fostered a sense of hope and unity within the community. For many families, these moments of joy were a light during challenging times, highlighting the spirit of the season.

We are deeply thankful to everyone who participated, donated, and helped make this event possible. Your generosity has made a lasting impact on the lives of so many. Together, we have shown the true meaning of the holidays—spreading love, kindness, and joy.

As we reflect on the success of this year’s giveaway, we are already looking forward to continuing this tradition of giving in the years to come. Thank you again to our sponsors, volunteers, and the community for making the Toys for Tots Giveaway an unforgettable celebration of generosity and compassion.
