Independence Community College’s Classified Personnel Association (CPA) has joined forces with the community to make Christmas a little brighter for children of Montgomery County. A holiday toy drive, sponsored by the CPA, will be part of the Pirate Basketball program on Saturday, December 4th, when the Pirates take on the Coffeyville Red Ravens. Anyone can bring a new, unwrapped toy to the game and receive a free hot dog and drink.
“The 2010 toy drive actually began earlier in the fall when we hosted a Chili and Soup Cook-Off on campus to raise money to purchase toys,” said Chenoa Bosch, CPA President, who went on to talk about the success of the student and employee event. “Saturday’s game is really important for the campaign as it marks our only opportunity to share the toy drive with community members. I just want to encourage anyone who has a heart for children to remember those children who wouldn’t have a happy Christmas without us.”
An annual event for the philanthropic employee organization, the toy drive benefits children in Montgomery County. Anyone wishing to participate can bring a new, unwrapped toy to the ICC Field House. The Lady Pirates play at 6:00 p.m. The men’s team will take the court at 8:00 p.m.
For more information about the toy drive or to contribute to the cause monetarily, contact Coy at ICC by calling (620) 332-5402.
