DECATUR — The Millikin women’s basketball team will hold its third annual toy drive at its game against Carroll University on Saturday, Dec. 17 at 2 p.m. at the Griswold Center.
All donations will be going to HSHS St. John’s Children’s Hospital in Springfield.
The Millikin women’s basketball team will be hosting a toy drive this season.
The hospital has asked that toys be new, not wrapped and preferably a hard surface that is easily wipe-able for infection control purposes. Asking for ages infant-teen.
After the success of first two years, the Millikin women’s basketball program has now made this a holiday tradition. Fans are asked to bring a toy to Saturday’s game and for each toy that is brought, an entry will be included for a raffle for new Chromebook.
