ATLANTA -- Thursday, December 19, Saving Our Daughters (S.O.D.) and Dirty Money’s Kalenna will host the toy drive for a cause from 8 p.m. to 12 a.m.

Sponsored by Greg Cole of Nancy’s Pizza (3167 Peachtree NE), guests will be able to give back while enjoying good food and special prizes. Kalenna is requesting that attendees bring Christmas gift cards, outer wear, games and beauty products to give to local children in need.  

Curtis B. executive director or Saving Our Daughters says “we are excited to have Kalenna join our growing family and becoming one of our philanthropic women that have now put down their celebrity status to make that connection with the young girls that might be facing horrific challenges of life.
