Football Stars Generate Big Smiles With Generous Toy Giveaway

In a heartwarming show of holiday spirit, top players from the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers football teams joined forces on Monday, December 18, at the Project Access Resource Center at Warwick Square Apartments in Santa Ana, California, for a fun, festive and memorable holiday party, and toy giveaway. Instead of facing off for a fierce gridiron battle, players came together with a common goal: to “Spread the Joy” by bringing holiday good cheer and hope to those in need at the Warwick Square Apartments (the first-ever Project Access community in the country).

This event, a great example of the spirit of giving, was presented in collaboration with Athletes First. Since 2001, this full-service management firm has been at the forefront of representing some of the most elite NFL and college players and coaches in the sports world. Many of our Warwick residents received toys and gifts thanks to Brian Murphy, CEO & President of Athletes First, and his staff. The kindness and support of Brian and his team brought smiles to many faces, making this holiday season extra special.

Athletes First and Project Access are united this holiday season under a singular mission: to “Spread the Joy.” We’re not just bringing smiles to families and children; we’re hopefully sending a powerful reminder that within our communities, there are those grappling with financial difficulties, health emergencies, and employment obstacles, especially during these challenging times.

We extend our deepest gratitude to Athletes First and all the players who took the time to bring joy to our community. Below, please find some of the highlights and happy moments from our December 18 event.
