Jingle All The Way
There are no words to express what Drake did for us, he helped establish the drive. But it was the Disney kids like Chelsea Tavares and Bella Thorne who transformed Jingle from a toy drive to a story reading event. That tradition continues with stars like Tamala Jones, JB Smooth, Holly Robinson Peete, and many more lending their time and talents.

RECORDING ARTIST DRAKE HOSTED THE SECOND EVER JINGLE ALL THE WAY
rewards
Children love to hear a good story, especially from people they admire. Seeing their faces and hearing the reactions is more rewarding than giving a toy!
Bella Thorne
Brought just the right amount of naughty & nice to Jingle 4.
volunteering
This is by far the most fun you will ever have giving. You will be provided a script and a part to play in a classic story. The rest is your imagination!
mission & vision
It is very simple, we inspire celebrities, influencers, athletes, recording artists and anyone kids consider cool to spend a couple hours reading stories aloud.
Tamala Jones
Teamed with Hill Harper and Nate Parker for a megawatt Jingle 5.
