Tar Heels To Collect Toys For Tots At Elon Game On Dec. 11
December 7, 2021 | Men's Basketball
CHAPEL HILL—Carolina fans, you can help provide toys to thousands of Orange County children who would go without gifts this holiday season if not for the help of Orange County Toys for Tots.Â
On Saturday, December 11th, Carolina Basketball and Orange County Toys for Tots are teaming up to collect toys at the Dean E. Smith Center at the Carolina-Elon game, which begins at 8:00 p.m.
Collection bins will be located at each entrance. All Carolina fans are encouraged to bring at least one new, unwrapped toy for a needy youngster in Orange County. Bring a new toy to make a child's day, and come cheer on the Tar Heels as they take on the Phoenix.
If you can't come to the game, toy donations can also be made directly online here or if you'd like to shop for toys at either Walmart or Target - which will be delivered directly to Department of Social Services.  The link is: https://www.myregistry.com/organization/orange-county-dss-hillsborough-nc/3111071
Chapel Hill Transit is joining the effort to help Toys for Tots. Bring a new, unwrapped toy to 'fill the bus' at the Friday Center park and ride lots for the UNC-Elon game. If you are not using this park and ride lot, bring your toy(s) to the game and help fill the boxes located at the Smith Center.
Tar Heel Express shuttles will begin at 6 p.m. from the park-and-ride location at the Friday Center only. The shuttles will provide continuous and fully accessible service, running every 10 to 15 minutes between the park-and-ride lot and the Smith Center. The shuttles will operate for approximately 45 minutes following the game. Â
Shuttles drop off and pick up on Bowles Drive in front of the Smith Center. Shuttles are $5 for a roundtrip or $3 for a one-way ride.
Park-and-ride permits are not required during Tar Heel Express events.
