The Indianapolis Colts will team up with CBS4, BOSE and The Salvation Army to host the 2015 “Angel Tree Holiday Drive,” prior to the Colts vs. Broncos game Nov. 8. From 2:25 p.m. to 4:25 p.m., CBS4 personalities, Salvation Army volunteers and Colts Junior Cheerleaders will collect new, unwrapped toys and new, unwrapped clothing items or monetary donations from Colts fans for The Salvation Army. Donations will be collected outside each Lucas Oil Stadium gate.
All donations will benefit The Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program, which brings joy and happiness to those less fortunate during the holiday season by providing clothing, special-needs gifts and other wished-for items such as toys. The Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program has been running for 30 years to ensure children have a wonderful holiday season with their families. The Salvation Army Indiana Division has been providing assistance to the Indianapolis community for generations.
Age-appropriate gifts for children infant to age 14 are sought. Toy donations should be new and unwrapped. Possible gifts ideas include: stuffed animals, infant toys, board games, sports equipment, electronic games and more. The Salvation Army is a non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization that provides food assistance to nearly 800 families and Christmas gifts to more than 2,100 children every holiday season.
Fans are also encouraged to show support for the Colts Gameday Collection Program and the Angel Tree Program by utilizing social media. Fans may tag @SAIndiana on Twitter, @ColtsCommunity on Twitter and Instagram and ‘Colts in the Community’ on Facebook.
The Colts Gameday Collections program will continue to run throughout the 2015 season with a different charitable collection held prior to each home game. Upcoming collections include Sacking Hunger, Books for Youth and the Damar Services Collection. A complete list of future collections is available at www.colts.com/collections.
