The 2025 Toy Drive will benefit the following non-profit organization:

Heads Up Foundation - is a non-profit foundation that seeks to better the lives of at-risk youth and teens. The goal is to give urban at-risk youth the opportunity to attend college by providing book scholarships to students wishing to further their education. www.headsupfoundationinc.org

To maximize the reach of potential donations, BlackNLA.com is working with southern California businesses as toy drop locations. “Our goal is to provide toys to disadvantaged and at risk children, during this holiday season”. Businesses that are participating as drop off locations will listed in an e-blast that is sent out to the community and on the web site of BlackNLA.com.

We are looking for business participation, if you would like to become a drop off location or if your company would like to conduct an in-house toy drive with your employees please e-mail us at toydrive@blacknla.com.
