Our incredible Ripple 2 Wave Foundation volunteers in , alongside Crisco's Kids and Charities (Jammin' Jimmy Olson), proudly hosted our 1st Waves of Joy Drive Thru Workshop at the Walmart on 51st Ave & Indian School Rd in Maryvale—turning community support into real holiday impact.
Together, we collected and distributed 1,200+ toys, 1,000 PetSmart stuffed animals, 10 bikes, and festive holiday items to registered families. Donations were made possible through Ripple 2 Wave Foundation’s 1st Holiday Toy Drive and Crisco Kidd & JJO’s 19th Annual 3-Day Ton of Toys & Holiday Food Drive, showing the power of collaboration and generosity.
Thank you to the families who came out and shared this moment with us. You are the reason this work matters. In the spirit of impacting joy, remaining toys were donated to four additional toy drives, spreading holiday cheer even further.
