MEMPHIS – The University of Memphis athletics department today announced that the annual Tiger Toy Drive will be expanded to include partnerships with the City of Memphis, CW30 and iHeart Radio.
This partnership with the Mayor and the City of Memphis has been a long-standing effort to provide toys for those in need in the Memphis area. However, this year, the Tigers welcome two community leaders to help in the drive: CW30 and iHeart Radio.
The Tiger Toy Drive will be Dec. 9-20 with all collected toys being handed out to local families on Dec. 22. The community is encouraged to participate in this toy drive by dropping off new, unopened toys at the Tiger Ticket Office on Normal Street. Donations can also be dropped off at FedExForum during three men's basketball home games: Dec. 9 vs. Bryant, Dec. 12 vs. Albany and Dec. 20 vs. Siena. For each toy donated, Memphis will provide a voucher for a free ticket to a Memphis men's basketball game.
Donations are accepted during regular business hours and the Tiger Ticket Office is open Monday-Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Fans can also bring donations directly to FedExForum during the home games on Dec. 9, 12 and 20. Boxes will be located at the entrances as fans enter the arena, and the ticket vouchers will be given out at each of these locations.
