South Los Angeles, CA - Dec 4, 2024 - Baron Davis, two-time NBA All-Star and founder of the Black Santa Brand, has partnered with Cal Dental USA to launch a multi-year initiative to support underserved communities across Southern California. The collaboration will focus on improving oral health and spreading holiday cheer by providing free dental hygiene kits, hosting community events, and delivering vital resources to families in need.

The partnership will serve communities in South Los Angeles and beyond, delivering essential dental supplies, hosting events at schools and senior centers, and spreading joy through acts of service and gift-giving. This initiative underscores the shared mission of both organizations: to empower individuals, foster wellness, and create lasting impact in the communities they serve.

“For me, this is about coming full circle,” said Davis, a South Los Angeles native. “Growing up in these neighborhoods, I know how important it is to have access to care and support. With #GivingHasNoSeason, we are able to make an immediate difference, whether it’s helping families with dental health or simply bringing smiles to kids and seniors during the holiday season.”

The partnership was born from a meeting between Davis and Cal Dental USA Vice President James Jones at the Top Dawg Entertainment Annual Concert and Toy Drive in Watts. Their shared passion for community service quickly evolved into a plan to bring meaningful resources and joy to families throughout Southern California.

Smiles Across Generations

The partnership will focus on giving back to both children and seniors, two groups often overlooked during the holiday season. Through visits to schools and senior centers, Black Santa and Cal Dental USA will provide gifts, engage in community-building activities, and emphasize the importance of health and wellness. These events are designed to create lasting memories while highlighting the power of service and connection.

In addition to the community events, the partnership will feature the annual Crack’em Up Comedy Show, a festive gathering that blends entertainment with charity. A portion of the proceeds from the comedy show will support families in need of dental care, helping to cover essential treatments.
