INDIANAPOLIS – On Sunday, December 9, the Indianapolis Colts will team up with WISH-TV and the Salvation Army to host the “WISH Tree Toy Drive,” prior to the Colts vs. Titans game. From 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., WISH-TV personalities, Salvation Army volunteers, and Colts Junior Cheerleaders will collect new, unwrapped toys from Colts fans for the Salvation Army. Donations will be collected at the Colts Community Collection Stations, presented by Toyota, located outside each Lucas Oil Stadium gate.
Age appropriate gifts for children infant to age 14 are sought. Toy donations should be new and unwrapped. Possible gifts may include: stuffed animals, infant toys, board games, sports equipment, electronic games and more.
In addition to the outdoor toy collection, the Salvation Army will collect monetary donations inside the stadium at each gate from 11:00 a.m. until the end of halftime. All donations will benefit the Salvation Army. WISH-TV and the Salvation Army have partnered together to collect toys to distribute to families in need during the holidays for the last 15 years. The Salvation Army is a non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization.
The Colts Gameday Collections program will continue to run throughout the 2012 season with a different charitable collection held prior to each home game. The final collection of the regular season will benefit Books for Youth on December 30. For more information about the Colts Gameday Collections program, visit www.colts.com/collections.
