Wright with Blue Knights of SC said.

“Students, this year, your generosity helped us raise $21,054 for Toys for Tots”. This is the 39th year the event traveled through the city to bring children toys. Trailers were filled with 55,000 toys for 2,500 families in Chicago. “We already get a lot of toys for little kids”.

In 2015, Bengals fans generously contributed 6,635 toys and $53,400 in cash donations. “We’ve got some toys coming off (the train) and some going on”, said Lorey.

“It’s all about the kids”, Massey said.

“What better way to help a child on Christmas Eve and see these toys”.
