Pacers Sports & Entertainment, JAKKS Pacific Toys Tip Off Season of Giving Delivered by Papa John’s with Holiday Toy Distribution

INDIANAPOLIS – For the 11th consecutive year, JAKKS Pacific Toys and Pacers Sports & Entertainment will donate 34,000 toys to more than 100 youth-serving organizations across Indiana to tip off its annual Season of Giving, delivered by Papa John's. Pacers head coach Nate Bjorkgren and La'Toya Pitts, Executive Director of Christamore House, joined PS&E staff to celebrate the launch of this year's campaign.

The annual toy drive is made possible by the generosity of Stephen Berman, JAKKS Pacific President and CEO, and Herb Simon, Owner and Chairman of Pacers Sports & Entertainment, whose close friendship and commitment to Indiana families have resulted in holiday toys for tens of thousands of Hoosier children since 2009.
