For Geronimo, always

A gift today. A legacy that lasts.

September 12, 2002 – May 17, 2018 · Forever 15

Geronimo passed away from cancer on May 17, 2018, at just 15 years old. Tyler Jaquez created this year-round toy drive and annual game to keep his little brother’s name and legacy alive by bringing joy to children and families.

Why we do this

For my little brother. For the kids who need a bright moment.

Tyler started the Geronimo Project to carry his little brother Geronimo’s name and legacy forward, while sharing a little joy with children and families. What began as a yearly toy drive and game is now something we work on all year long.

Funds raised through the project help us buy toys. We also welcome new, unwrapped toy donations from people and businesses who want to help.

Bringing the gifts to children and families.

Our team delivers toys to children’s hospitals in Arizona and to families in local communities. During the holiday season, Tyler dresses as Santa and travels across Arizona handing out toys to families in need.
