Young Jeezy, Rick Ross, G. Malone Plan Holiday Toy Drives
By Allen Starbury ♦ Published 12/14/2007

Several rappers are getting into the holiday spirit this month from all around the nation -- including Atlanta's Young Jeezy, Miami's Rick Ross, and Watts, California's G. Malone, all of which are planning toy drives within their respective communities.

Young Jeezy, with help from entertainment attorney Charles Mathis and DeAngelo Hall of the Atlanta Falcons, will be presenting a week long toy drive and Christmas Eve toy giveaway from December 17-24. During the week, there will be a series of charity events which will include a dinner at Justin's restaurant and a toy drive at Club Fever.

Then on Sunday (December 16), according to XXL, 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 in Miami Gardens. Around 70 children and their families have been invited and will be presented with gifts. Gifts may be donated for the event, but the deadline is Friday (December 14). Contributions can be dropped off at the Hip-Hop Grub Spot c/o Rick Ross Charities.

In Los Angeles, Hoo Bangin'/Cash Money Records recording artist, G. Malone, is gearing up for his First Annual G. Malone Toy Drive in Watts. The rapper will be inviting some of his celebrity friends to join him in 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.
