The 2017 JAKKS Pacific Holiday Toy Giveaway is already off to a tremendous start.
On Tuesday morning in Columbus, Ind., approximately 75 children were treated to an early holiday surprise, as Pacers Sports & Entertainment, the Columbus police department, and members of local high school basketball teams joined forces to distribute toys from JAKKS Pacific.
The children beamed as they received their toys — Star Wars figurines are big hit this year — then laughed as they played with Boomer and Freddy Fever, the Pacers and Fever mascots, and nibbled on holiday cookies.
The day was just one of several stops PS&E is making across the state this month to distribute toys donated by JAKKS Pacific Toy Company Chairman & CEO Stephen Berman, the eigth consecutive year that JAKKS Pacific has donated toys Hoosier children.
