WGN Morning News Drive-Thru Toy Drive
Drive on down to WGN-TV Friday, December 15 for the fourth annual "WGN Morning News Drive-Thru Toy Drive." WGN-TV is inviting viewers to "drive-by" and drop off a new unwrapped toy or a contribution at WGN-TV located on 2501 W. Bradley Place.
All toys will be donated to the children of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Chicago. Monetary contributions will benefit WGN-TV's Children's Charities, a fund of the McCormick Tribune Foundation and all contributions to WGN-TV Children's Charities will be matched at 50 cents on the dollar. This year, the WGN-TV Toy Drive is being extended to run from 5am-1pm, through the WGN News at Noon.
This 8-hour event will feature carolers, a visit from Santa and holiday fun. Hot coffee and Dunkin' Donuts will be available throughout the morning, as well as a limited supply of $2 rechargeable Dunkin gift cards, while supplies last.
