Young Jeezy, Rick Ross & Glasses Malone Plan Holiday Toy Drives

Rappers Young Jeezy, Rick Ross and Glasses Malone will all be getting into the holiday spirit this month as they sponsor toy drives for less fortunate children and families in their respective areas. Atlanta’s Young Jeezy, in connection with his CTE Family and his 8732 clothing line, are presenting a week long toy drive and Christmas Eve toy giveaway from December 17-24. Entertainment attorney Charles Mathis and DeAngelo Hall of the Atlanta Falcon are also contributing to the series of charity events which will include a dinner at Justin’s restaurant and a toy drive at Club Fever.

This Sunday (December 16) in Miami Gardens, local MC Rick Ross and his Rick Ross Charities organization will host a toy giveaway at the recently opened Hip-Hop Grub Spot at 20356-20358 NW 2nd Avenue. Some 70 children and their families have been invited and will be presented with gifts. The deadline to donate gifts to the drive is today (December 14), and any contributions can be dropped off at the Hip Hop Grub Spot c/o Rick Ross Charities.

Over on the West Coast, Cash Money artist Glasses Malone is planning the First Annual G. Malone Toy Drive in the Watts section of Los Angeles. Glasses will be inviting some of his celebrity friends to join him and hand out gifts on December 20 at the VIP Records retail store on Wilmington Blvd. The rapper is hoping to collect enough toys for 200 children, and any donations can be delivered to the VIP location at 11730 S. Wilmington Blvd.
