On Friday, December 18 Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and his men’s care brand PAPATUI made an appearance at Walmart in the Burbank Empire Center, to surprise kids and families from the YMCA Los Angeles chapters. Families were given stockings filled with gifts, and Johnson gifted even provided each family with a $500 Walmart gift certificate and a year’s supply of PAPATUI.
Five lucky kids received “Papatui’s Dwanta Golden Ticket,” giving them the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fill their carts with as many toys as they could pile high. In addition to the surprise shopping spree, the year’s supply of Papatui, and the $500 gift cards, every child received an extra toy from their personal wishlist, ensuring everyone was overwhelmed with joy,
Dwayne Johnson has a personal connection to the YMCA as he spent time in their Hawaii branches when he was growing up. This surprise gifting moment reflects PAPATUI’s commitment to showing up for communities, standing for taking better care, and creating impact beyond the aisle, especially during the holidays.
