The 2025 Daddy & Deuce Toy + Coat Drive marked its 8th Annual year of impact, continuing a beloved holiday tradition while expanding its reach across St. Louis. Hosted this year on the campus of Harris-Stowe State University, the event welcomed families from additional recreation centers, allowing the Foundation to serve even more children and neighborhoods than ever before.
Hosted by Jayson Tatum and his son, Deuce, and powered by the generosity of donors, partners, and volunteers, the Drive provided essential winter coats and holiday gifts to over 500 children. Families received warm outerwear, including coats, hats, gloves, and scarves, ensuring kids were prepared for the winter months, along with memorable gifts that brought joy and excitement to the season.
From basketballs and backpacks to bikes, scooters, games, tablets, and other surprise items, the day was filled with smiles, gratitude, and holiday spirit. The expanded footprint of the 8th Annual Drive reflects The Jayson Tatum Foundation’s continued commitment to meeting families where they are and growing alongside the communities it serves.
As the Daddy & Deuce Toy + Coat Drive continues to evolve, its mission remains the same: to spread warmth, joy, and hope St. Louis families during the holiday season.
