Boonville High School Collecting Donations for 911 Gives Hope for the Holidays Toy Drive

Here's how you can help with the 911 Gives Hope for the Holidays Toy Drive while enjoying some fun high school basketball.

The Christmas season is upon us, and once again it's time to turn our attention to making sure children spending the holiday season in area hospitals have presents to open with our 16th annual 911 Gives Hope for the Holidays Toy Drive with Henderson Chevrolet, Buick, GMC!

Without question, this is one of our favorite events of the year. We are on a mission, with your help, to fill a 53-foot semi-trailer full of new, unwrapped toys for the kids. Like we've always done since day one 16 years ago, we'll set up camp in the front corner of the east side Walmart parking lot in Evansville (in front of the Lawn & Garden entrance) and begin our 60-hour marathon drive at 6:00 AM that Friday morning and continue around the clock until 6:00 PM Sunday evening. Even if you work the second shift, or you're just a night owl who likes to shop while everyone else is sleeping, someone will be on-site to take your donation.

All the toys you donate to fill the trailer will be distributed to Deaconess and Ascension-St. Vincent Hospitals, Peyton Manning Children's Hospital on the Ascension-St. Vincent campus, the Evansville Psychiatric Children's Center, ECHO Community Healthcare, and both Ronald McDonald House locations in Evansville.

Make Your Donations with Boonville High School

This year, Boonville High School Athletics will be helping to collect donations for the 911 Gives Hope for the Holidays Toy Drive. You can attend one of two games this week and bring in a new, unwrapped toy for the 911 Gives Hope for the Holidays Toy Drive to get free admission into the game.

You can attend the Boys' Basketball Scrimmage on Wednesday, November 20th, or the Girls' Basketball Game on Friday, November 22nd. If you bring in a new toy, you can get into the game for free. More importantly, you will be helping put a smile on the faces of kids spending the holidays in area hospitals.
