Took place on Friday
(BATESVILLE, Ind.) – Representatives from Pacers Sports and Entertainment joined leaders at the Southeastern Indiana YMCA on Friday for the annual JAKKS Pacific Big Toy Giveaway.
“It’s super exciting, this actually is going to help out and reach all kinds of communities not just in the Batesville area,” said Southeastern Indiana YMCA Membership and Operations Director Tameeka Sizemore. “Honestly seeing the kids so happy, that’s my biggest joy is helping as many children as I can.”
For the 15th consecutive year, the annual partnership provides toys to hundreds of local organizations throughout Indiana and impacts thousands of Hoosier families each year.
The program tipped off in 2009 and since then, hundreds of thousands of toys have been delivered to families in need though a network of more than 100 local nonprofit organizations around the state.
