The season of giving is in full swing, but for Pechanga, supporting the community and those in need is a year-round mission. In December 2024, Pechanga made a meaningful impact with three major contributions benefiting veterans, children and families in need.
The MilVet organization, Spark of Love and Toys for Tots each received vital support in the form of donated toys and monetary contributions, totaling nearly $25,000. Pechanga leaders emphasized their commitment to helping even more deserving people this holiday season.

For more than 12 years, Pechanga has supported the US Marine Corps’ Toys for Tots program with an annual donation of $10,000. This contribution will allow the program to continue its mission of providing new toys and spreading holiday cheer to less fortunate children across the country.
California is home to more than 1.8 million former military personnel and nearly 160,000 active-duty military personnel. To support these heroes, Pechanga team members purchased hundreds of toys for MilVet’s Holidays for Heroes program, a nonprofit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of deployed troops, veterans and their families. MilVet volunteers collected dozens of toy-filled boxes from Pechanga, bringing smiles and joy to many this holiday season.
