When it comes to showing up for the community, Tameka “Tiny” Cottle Harris has never needed an introduction or an excuse. And this holiday season, she did exactly what she has been doing for over two decades, she showed up and showed out. The Tiny and Friends Christmas Giveback, hosted by Tiny and supported by Kyyba Kidz Foundation, served over 600 children across Atlanta and stood as one of the largest holiday giveback efforts the city has seen.
The event took place at Kyyba Music’s newly established Atlanta studio, which opened its doors to allow the initiative to expand in a major way. Thanks to the space and support provided by Kyyba Music & Kyyba Kidz Foundation, the giveback was able to reach more families than ever before and deliver joy on a massive scale.
More than 14,000 items were distributed throughout the day, and baby, nobody left empty handed. Children received age specific mystery bags filled with four or more items, along with toys, bikes, televisions, beauty supplies, clothing, and plenty of surprise gifts. Several lucky attendees walked away with big ticket prizes including bikes, TVs, Beats by Dre headphones, and even cash prizes. Because when it is the holidays, blessings should come correct.
Tiny’s commitment to Atlanta runs deep. For more than 20 years, she has consistently poured back into the community, and this year’s giveback only proved that her heart for the people has not changed. If anything, it has grown.
The event was planned and executed under the leadership of Tel K. Ganesan, whose role was instrumental in bringing the entire production together. From securing the venue to managing logistics and ensuring the event ran smoothly, his coordination made it possible to serve the community at this scale and with such impact.
The love was very much a family affair. In attendance and actively participating were Tameka “Tiny” Cottle Harris, Tameka Scott, Tiny’s daughters, and Tiny’s mother, all of whom showed up to support the children and families throughout the event.
The overwhelming turnout spoke volumes. This was not just a giveaway, it was a reminder of what long term commitment to community truly looks like. Through the continued efforts of Tiny, Kyyba Music, and their partners, the Tiny and Friends Christmas Giveback remains a powerful example of generosity, consistency, and real impact in Atlanta during the holiday season.
