This year the head coach of the New England Patriots is giving back - in a major way! The Bill Belichick Foundation is hosting a virtual toy drive with Donate a Toy to benefit Boston Toys for Tots!

The great news is that anyone can participate and buy a toy for a child in need online no matter where they are. The Bill Belichick Foundation and Donate a Toy will match all gifts. Donate 1 toy, give 3 toys! I’m not sure if this is a fit for what you’re looking for, but wanted to share if it was. There are a handful of celebrities who have partnered with Donate A Toy to host a toy drive for their charity of choice.

Due to the pandemic, this is the first year Donate a Toy has done a virtual toy donation program to help Toys for Tots. This is also a new initiative for Bill Belichick Foundation hosting a virtual toy drive for the first time this year. The BBF will be collecting toys online through December 20th. 

Belichick isn’t the only one in the holiday spirit! Linda Holliday, NFL Hall of Famer, Lawrence Taylor have also come on board as part of his "Fore Life" Charity for underprivileged children. Plus, many of his NY Giants teammates, including Super Bowl MVP Otis Anderson and two-time Super Bowl Champion, Mark Bavaro have used their social media channels to support the virtual toy drive. 

Bravo TV Personalities Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula from the popular show Summer House and founders of beverage brand Loverboy are supporting the initiative by encouraging their followers to donate toys to DonateAToy.org through a social media campaign starting this week. The campaign will be part of their 10 days of giveaways to spread joy before the holiday season.  Toys can be purchased at the link below until Dec. 20th.
