Derrick Pierce Promoting GoFundMe Campaign For Christmas Toy Drive!

LOS ANGELES—Derrick Pierce is seeking contributors for a special GoFundMe holiday campaign for a group that annually sponsors the Winter Wonderland Toy Drive to benefit underprivileged youths in Pacoima, Calif. Cash donations will either be forwarded directly to the facility or used for the purchase more toys to ensure every kid receives a present. To date, the GoFundMe campaign has raised more than $1,100. To contribute simply visit GoFundMe.com. Coming up on the ninth annual event, and with more than 400 children to sponsor, Derrick and his group are looking for assistance in once again making the event a reality. “I am really committed to this cause,” said Derrick. “Most of these kids don't really have a Christmas and these gifts will most likely be the only ones they receive. We host a toy drive, we sort the toys, we deliver the toys and we distribute the toys to the kids directly. This isn't some random toy drop off/fundraiser deal where we just do some promo and leave. We stay for the day and hang out with them.” The Winter Wonderland Toy Drive is set to take place at 11251 Glenoaks Blvd., Pacoima, CA from noon to 4 p.m. Dec. 20, and and will feature food, vendors, raffles and more. “We want to give these kids the best holiday party they have ever had. Our goal this year is $5000,” Derrick continued. “I know we can hit this number with ease. And to make sure that we do I’m offering my services as a fitness instructor as a perk.” Adding incentive to the fund raising campaign, Derrick is making a special offer to anyone that donates $200 or more. He will offer one month of online fitness training for free. More info can be attained directly from Derrick at his Twitter account.
