This year’s UAB Toy Drive has multiple ways to give and multiple ways to celebrate the joy of giving.
For nearly 30 years, the UAB Toy Drive has collected new, unwrapped toys for children in need throughout the Birmingham metro area. Toys are donated to the U.S. Marine Corps’ Toys for Tots campaign and will be collected from Nov. 7 to Dec. 14.
Bring your teddy bears to the UAB Home Basketball game on Sunday, Dec. 4 at 1pm for a teddy bear toss!
This year, you can also drop off toys at collection boxes around campus, or purchase a toy from one of our wish lists:
You can also mail toys to:
