Ketchmore Kids announces 7^th Annual Toy Drive to benefit local shelter

Charlotte, NC December 10^th 2pm-5pm, Ketchmore Kids will be hosting a toy drive to benefit a local shelter where over 100 children, ages newborn-17yrs., currently call home

Ketchmore Kids is a non-profit dedicated to using hip-hop music to work with youth on a regular basis on topics such as gang-prevention, self-esteem and goal setting.  In addition, Ketchmore Kids conducts events to benefit the community at large, and those in need.  On December 10^th, from 2pm-5pm, in the lot located in front of Master Kutz Barber & Beauty Salon, at 1610 Ashley Road, Ketchmore Kids will be hosting a toy drive.  This drive will feature music from the teen students of With These Hands Mix Academy, My 92.7 & Power 98 Radio Personalities, performances by local artists, like the Riddiculous Kiddz, Vendors, and other community organizations like Gang of One and The Charlotte Boxing academy.  This event is free and open to the public.  Ketchmore Kids asks that attendees bring a new, unwrapped toy and/or gift item to donate, as the collection of toys/gifts to benefit those less fortunate is the main focus of this community event. 


“With budget cuts and the overall economy affecting so many areas negatively, this is a time for the community to count our blessings, appreciate the small things, and come together to help others.  The only true way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others” Chanell Ketchmore, Founder
