A number of charitable events will be taking place in Santa Monica Place leading to the Christmas holiday.

CHIPS for Kids Toy Drive: Bring new, unwrapped toys to center court of Santa Monica Place through Dec. 20 and get your photo taken riding a Highway Patrol motorcycle. Your gifts will be distributed to disadvantaged or hospitalized children in the Los Angeles area. The drive is sponsored by the California Highway Patrol.
