Toys For Tots At Kentucky Game
December 7, 2013 | Men's Basketball
CHAPEL HILL — This holiday season, the Tar Heels once again are teaming up with the Orange County Toys for Tots program to brighten the season for children in the Chapel Hill area.
On Saturday December 14th, fans can donate unwrapped toys at the Dean Smith Center for the Kentucky game. Carolina fans can help provide toys to over 5,000 Orange County children who would go without any gifts if not for the help of the Orange County Toys for Tots campaign.
Last year, over 3,100 children received toys in Orange County and the number of needy children has grown this year. More donations are needed to make sure that all of the children will have toys this year. All toys collected will stay in Orange County to brighten the lives of kids during the holidays. Gift ideas and more information about Orange County's program can found at http://hillsborough-nc.toysfortots.org.
Collection bins will be outside every Smith Center entrance for donations.
Collection bins also will be available at Tar Heel Express shuttle bus lots at the Friday Center and University Mall. A Tar Heel Express bus will haul away toys from the Smith Center after the game to the donation center.
