LOS ANGELES – In the spirit of giving with the holidays around the corner, Manny Pacquiao Promotions(MPP) today announced a special charitable initiative tied to its upcoming U.S. debut event on Friday, November 29, at Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, Calif. As Manny “Jimuel” Pacquiao Jr. prepares to make his professional debut, MPP is turning what would traditionally be a personal celebration into a community-driven effort to support those in need.
Rather than throwing a traditional baby shower for Jimuel and his fiancée, who are expecting their first child shortly, MPP is partnering with Marine Toys for Tots to encourage fans, supporters, and media to bring unwrapped toy donations benefitting underserved children across Southern California.
Toys for Tots donation points will be available:
Wild Card Boxing Club in Hollywood, now through fight week
On-site during fight night at Pechanga Resort Casino (Nov. 29)
“Manny Pacquiao rose to global prominence not only for his brilliance in the ring but also for his deep-rooted philanthropic work,” said MPP President Sean Gibbons. “It is very special to see his son is carrying that same torch into his own career.”
“This moment is about more than boxing,” said Jimuel Pacquiao. “I’m stepping into the ring to start my own journey, but I also want to step into fatherhood with the values my dad taught me: faith, hard work, and helping others. If our baby shower can bring joy to other kids this holiday season, then it’s already a win.”
Jimuel will face fellow pro debutant Brendan Lally in a four-round lightweight bout on an action-packed fight card headlined by a WBO International Featherweight Title clash between Elijah Pierce (21-2, 17 KOs) and Lorenzo Parra (23-1-1 17 KOs).
“We’re proud to use this event as a platform not just for great fights, but for great causes,” said Brendan Gibbons, MPP’s Lead Matchmaker. “This promotion reflects the heart of the Pacquiao name—in the ring and in the community.”
Remaining tickets for Manny Pacquiao Promotions’ U.S. debut are on sale now at Pechanga.com and Ticketmaster.com. VIP and Platinum Experience packages are available at MannyPacquiaoPromotions.com.
