GenerationOn’s Celebrity Youth Ambassador Francesca Capaldi took a few minutes out of her busy Disney Channel filming schedule to spread some cheer at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Carlsbad’s Village Clubhouse.
“I’m so pleased to serve as a ‘Joy Ambassador’ for generationOn,” sad Francesca. “It gives me the wonderful opportunity to meet amazing people, learn about others, and give back to the community in which I live, Carlsbad.”
The young “Dog With A Blog” star brought along 100 toys, which will be given to Club members next week. GenerationOn has partnered with Hasbro for The Joy Maker Challenge, a campaign that engages students in meaningful, hands-on service projects during the holiday season. For each action a youngster takes to help others, Hasbro will donate a toy or game to Toys for Tots (up to $1 million). They are also providing 100 toys to each of their 100 Joy Ambassadors across the country, of which Francesca is one.

“Francesca’s visit and her toy delivery couldn’t have come at a better time,” said Club Director Andy Purviance. “We are in the midst of collecting toys so each of our members will receive a gift this holiday season, and the donation from Hasbro will have a huge impact on our efforts. Plus, the kids were just overjoyed to meet Francesca!”
