Toys collected by both organizations will be donated to Urban Compass and Drew Child Development Corporation and given to underprivileged youth within Los Angeles and Watts . The Gift of Giving is a holiday event that provides underrepresented youth with holiday toys and the spirit and warm feelings of Christmas. Because of last year's success, the program has decided to reach out to additional organizations interested in collecting toys such as New Breed Entertainment Group (www.newbreedentertainment.com) and Kings of Things Entertainment (www.kotent.com). Both companies will incorporate the toy drive into their social events held in Los Angeles during the holiday season. In addition

local companies including OneUnited Bank, Rent.com and The Fit Factory,
will place toy collection boxes within their offices. We all companies
