Birthday parties are usually the times when kids rake in the loot. But Chase Branscum gave away all 500 gifts he received. The generous-minded resident of Owasso, Oklahoma, decided to turn his eighth birthday celebration into a toy drive for Toys for Tots.
He told local news station Fox23, "I already have toys and other kids don't." A local business owner, Danny Stockton, of Red Dot Laser Tag, heard about the toy drive and offered to get involved.
The 100 or so partygoers who attended were treated to laser tag and snacks, and then donated to the toy drive. Toys for Tots said they will be donating toys to around 2,000 kids this season.
Chase's mom got a gift, too: To see her son's kindhearted spirit. "You want to raise your child to be generous and to think of someone other than themselves," said Tiffany Rowe, adding "Him doing this was a gift to me."
