Bringing Joy and Hope: KT Prep and TEL HI's Toy Drive Program

A Partnership of Generosity and Community Spirit

In the spirit of giving and community support, KT Prep, under the leadership of its founder Nathan Kenion, has been a beacon of generosity in TEL HI's annual Toy Drive. For the past seven years, KT Prep has played a pivotal role in this initiative, donating over 2,000 toys and bringing immeasurable joy to the hearts of underserved children.

Nathan Kenion: A Story of Triumph and Giving Back

Nathan Kenion's journey is one of resilience and inspiration. Growing up in a challenging environment, Nathan credits The Omega Boy’s & Girl’s Club for providing him with the guidance and opportunities to steer clear of troubles and pursue his dreams. His passion for sports led him to play football at De la Salle High School, then to scholarships at St. Mary's College and the University of Nevada Las Vegas, where he rose to become team captain. Nathan's success story culminates in him being the first in his family to earn a college degree. This path inspired the creation of KT Prep, a testament to his desire to give back and provide similar life-changing opportunities to others.

A Season of Giving: More Than Just Toys

This year's Toy Drive, powered by the synergistic partnership of KT Prep and TEL HI, is more than a seasonal event—it's a symbol of hope, community solidarity, and the power of kindness. Each toy represents not just a gift but a bridge connecting hearts, a gesture that strengthens the fabric of our community, and a precious memory created for a child.

Big Generosity on Giving Tuesday

In a wonderful show of support, the community responded with overwhelming generosity on Giving Tuesday. Surpassing our goal, we raised $1,586, exceeding our $1,000 target. These contributions, made through online and Facebook donations, have been instrumental in amplifying the impact of our Toy Drive, ensuring that we can bring smiles to even more children this holiday season.

A Decade of Impact and Growth Nathan Kenion began his journey in community service over a decade ago at TEL HI, organizing summer football training programs for young students. Today, KT Prep stands as one of the most successful and impactful sports training programs in Northern California, embodying the spirit of resilience and community support that Nathan has championed throughout his life.

Gratitude and Holiday Wishes

As we celebrate giving throughout the holiday season, we extend our heartfelt thanks to KT Prep, Nathan Kenion, and every individual who contributed to our Giving Tuesday success. Your unwavering commitment and generosity have significantly impacted the lives of many families and brightened the holidays for countless children.

In this season of gratitude, we wish everyone holidays filled with love, warmth, and moments of reflection on the blessings we share as a community.
