Brantley Gilbert has just made one of the largest Toys for Tots donations: a whopping $10.5 million.
He did it in partnership with a children's activity toy company, Bendon, Inc.
"Growing up in rural Georgia, I know that sometimes Christmas isn't a time of joy for some kids and our contribution might be all they receive this year so I really wanted our donation to matter. I'm honored the folks and Bendon understood why I wanted to work with them and Toys for Tots," Gilbert told Taste of Country.
"Bendon's books have some pretty cool heroes and lessons for all ages like Batman, Superman and Clifford the Big Red Dog to Disney, Peanuts and some of my favorites, Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. Whether a kid is into Barbie or Star Wars, I hope we've given a bit of fun and inspiration," Gilbert said.
Gilbert said he's been told this $10.5 million donation is one of the largest Toys for Tots has ever received.
