Cavs Distributing Thousands of Toys to Families

The Cleveland Cavaliers and their fans will be able to touch the lives of thousands of families and children in need across Northeast Ohio this holiday season. With the Cavs matching the number of items collected during the annual Toy Drive, presented by Yonanas – 100% Fruit Soft Serve, approximately 3,000 children will receive a new toy for the holiday.

Fans donated new, unwrapped toys at several Cavs home games during November and December. In addition, students participating in Teen Leadership Corps also collected items for the Toy Drive. With a total of 1,500 contributed from fans and Teen Leadership Corps, the Cavs organization matched that with 1,500 toys of their own, doubling the number of families that will benefit from the initiative.

The 3,000 toys are being distributed to several pre-selected, non-profit organizations throughout Northeast Ohio that work with underserved children.

The Lake Erie Monsters also participated in the Toy Drive, collecting items at their home games that will likewise be matched and given to local charitable organizations.

The Toy Drive was part of the Cavs Season of Giving, presented by Nestle Baking.
