Holiday Giving in Action

Gibson Dunn’s generous Holiday Giving support is a powerful example of in-kind philanthropy that makes a direct and meaningful impact on the children and families of LA’s BEST. Each year, our Holiday Giving initiative helps bring joy, dignity, and celebration to students during the winter season by providing thoughtful gifts and essential items. With 99% of LA’s BEST sites receiving Title I funding, nearly all of the young people we serve attend schools with the greatest need for additional resources. Thanks to partners like Gibson Dunn, students and their families can experience a joyful and heartwarming holiday moment rooted in community, belonging, and care.
