First, on Thursday, Dec. 12, there will be a concert and toy drive and then, on Friday, Dec. 13, family friendly activities, a raffle with gift giveaways, and a job fair that offers employment on site, and are aligned with creating reentry pathways for ex-offenders. They’ll also be giving away free haircuts and family holiday photos like you used to get at the local department store. If you want to get into the concert, fans can gain entry by bringing unwrapped toys, new clothes/shoes, or other donations.
The two-day event presented by TDE’s charity Top Dawg Love the Kids, has become a holiday tradition for Nickerson Garden residents in the Watts neighborhood and surrounding LA communities.
TDE founder Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith and TDE rapper Jay Rock both grew up in the Nickerson Garden Housing Projects and this is a way for them to give back to the community that helped shape them into the successful men they are today.
Gates open for the concert on Dec. 12 at 11:00 a.m. PST and Community Giveback on Dec. 13 will be from 12:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. PST. Both will be located at 11251 Compton Ave. Los Angeles, C.A. 90059.
