Actress Lacey Chabert, known for her extensive work in Hallmark Christmas films, filled the spirit of the holiday season at Raising Cane’s in Hollywood on December 15. She participated in a heartwarming event that involved donating bicycles and helmets to children from the Boys & Girls Club of Hollywood, alongside Raising Cane’s founder Todd Graves.
The event, now in its second year, provided bikes and helmets to 120 children, contributing to a total donation of 380 children’s bikes to the Boys & Girls Club ahead of Christmas. Chabert expressed her joy at being part of the initiative once again, reflecting on the happiness it brought last year in New York City. She emphasized the importance of community and the joy of spreading kindness during the holiday season.
Mel Culpepper, CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Hollywood, expressed gratitude on behalf of the children, stating the impact of the donations was profound and unforgettable. “You have made all the difference in the lives of these children. This is what Christmas is all about,” he remarked, highlighting the value of the generosity shown by Raising Cane’s and Todd Graves.
Chabert and Graves were joined by an array of special guests, including Khadijah and Malika Haqq, Sarah Jane Nader, Chris Hahn from “Vanderpump Rules,” and the D’Amelio family, as well as Los Angeles Rams defensive end Larrell Murchison. Graves reminisced about receiving a bike as a child and expressed a desire to pass that joy on to children in need, reaffirming Chabert as his top choice to partner with for this meaningful event.
Founded in 1937, the Boys & Girls Club of Hollywood continues to serve and uplift local youth. This act of kindness not only brings joy but also fosters a sense of community and giving during the holiday season.
