Bona Baseball, STCAC Lead
Toys For Tots Drive

The St. Bonaventure baseball team, in coordination with the Southern Tier Child Advocacy Center (STCAC), will assist the Southern Cattaraugus County Toys for Tots Program by collecting new toys for the upcoming holiday season at the men's basketball home game against Arkansas State on Thursday, Dec. 1 at 7 p.m.

Baseball players will be on hand to accept new toys for the Toys for Tots program, and boxes will be set up around the Reilly Center for fans to donate throughout the game. Reggie Dallaire, Southern Cattaraugus County Toys for Tots coordinator, said all new toys would be accepted.

All toys collected by the baseball program at the RC on Dec. 1 – as well as all those donated throughout the Toys for Tots campaign in the area – will stay in the Southern Cattaraugus County region. According to Dallaire, 2,064 toys were distributed to children in Allegany, Hinsdale, Olean and Portville last holiday season, a record for the program.

"It's been growing every year and that's unfortunate," Dallaire said.

For those who cannot make it to the men's basketball game Dec. 1, donation boxes are set up at every financial institution and many places of business in the Olean area. Parents and guardians who cannot provide gifts to their children over the holidays can receive toys from the program by applying at the Tops Friendly Market located at 2401 West State Street in Olean.
