LOS ANGELES—Ivan from Puba is turning 21 yet again (for the 26th time) and, as is tradition, he is inviting everyone in the industry to celebrate the occasion by giving to those less fortunate.
Every Christmas and birthday, Ivan hosts the toy drive, which has seen thousands of toys donated to children at local hospitals. The latest Gifts for Kids Toy Drive is slated for tonight (March 22).
“My SUV is always packed to the top with toys,” Ivan said. “It's incredible how generous some of my industry friends really are. It's not about media or getting a pat on the back. We donate the following morning anonymously to the local Children's Hospital.”
Guests are asked to being one—or 12—unwrapped gifts to the party, which is open to those 21 and older.
The Gifts for Kids Toy Drive takes place at Page 71 Lounge, 11916 Ventura Blvd., Studio City, CA 91604, and guests can celebrate Ivan's birthday officially at midnight. RSVP to Ivan at (323) 397-5856 or [email protected], or simply show up with a toy and a smile.
