As we celebrate 10 years of spreading joy to families around the holiday season, we want to recognize some of the incredible impact we’ve had over the past decade with your support.
Last holiday season, Pay Away the Layaway partnered with Christian McCaffrey, running back for the Carolina Panthers, and the Christian McCaffrey Foundation to spread joy and kindness to our military families in the Carolinas.
With the ambitious goal of paying off ALL remaining layaway balances for military families in North and South Carolina, the NFL star worked with Pay Away the Layaway to make that dream come true.
“Our military members sacrifice so much everyday to protect the rest of us. We wanted to return the favor and show our appreciation for all that they do for our country,” McCaffrey stated. “We are extremely happy to do it, and so grateful for all of you guys who have served,” he continued.
Thanks to McCaffrey’s generosity and passion for supporting our military members, 363 unsuspecting military families got a magical holiday surprise.
A total of 22 lucky service members received the incredible news via a Zoom call, where McCaffrey personally announced that this year they were all in for a special treat for their bravery and commitment to our country.
“Not only did we pay off all remaining layaway balances for the Army and Air Force Exchanges in the Carolinas, but we did the same for the Navy Exchange military members,” announced McCaffrey in the video. “And not only did we give the gift of joy to military families in North Carolina, South Carolina, but also in southern Virginia,” McCaffrey said.
Recipients began clapping in joy and raising their hands in celebration. They couldn’t thank him enough for this kind gesture.
Because of our amazing Layaway Angels like Christian McCaffrey, we are able to spread kindness and give the gift of joy to families all over the United States.
