ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, December 11, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Atlanta Cares and the Terance Madden Foundation, in partnership with Toys4Tots, are proud to announce a free, joy-filled holiday celebration designed to uplift underprivileged children and families across the metro Atlanta area. The event, “Toys4Tots & Photos with Santa,” will take place on Saturday, December 13th at the Atlanta Public Schools Community HUB, welcoming hundreds of children for a magical holiday experience.

This community-focused event will offer:

- Free professional photos with Santa

- Toys4Tots gift distribution, with each child able to choose toys and books

- Holiday crafts, sweet treats, and festive activities

- A warm, safe, and celebratory environment for Atlanta-area families in need

Families have pre-registered for designated time slots, ensuring that every child receives personalized attention and ample time to enjoy the holiday experience. Registration filled quickly, underscoring both the need and the excitement throughout the community.

A Mission of Joy, Dignity & Access

For over a decade, the Terance Madden Foundation has been committed to supporting underserved communities through educational initiatives, scholarships, youth programming, and family-centered events. Last year alone, the Foundation raised more than $70,000 for college scholarships —an example of its deep roots in philanthropy and community uplift. Similarly, hundreds of children attended last year’s Toys4Tots and Photos with Santa event.

“This holiday celebration is about more than toys or photos,” said Terance Madden, Founder of the Terance Madden Foundation. “It’s about restoring joy, dignity, and hope for families who’ve endured hardship. Every child deserves to feel seen, celebrated, and cherished—especially during the holidays.”

“Mentor a Child and Save a Life” is the guiding motto of the Atlanta CARES Mentoring Movement—one of 56 National CARES affiliates and a proud co-host of the Pictures with Santa and Toys for Tots Giveaway. Atlanta CARES is dedicated to transforming the lives of under-resourced children by inspiring and mobilizing caring adults to mentor and support them.

Atlanta CARES is honored to help bring joy and meaningful holiday experiences to families through the Pictures with Santa and Toys for Tots celebration. In addition, its flagship program, the Annual STEMfest Youth Conference, engages more than 300 students each year in hands-on STEM activities, exploration of emerging careers, and meaningful interaction with STEM professionals.

Event co-organizers note that their shared commitment mirrors a growing call across Atlanta for organizations to step forward and support families who continue to face economic strain, housing instability, and barriers to accessing holiday experiences that many take for granted.
