“A brand new initiative coming to the Mercury, BG’s Holiday Toy Drive benefiting @BannerChildrens,” a statement by the team stated. “Donate new packaged toys at our games this season or at the Team Shop on non-game days. All toys will be donated during the upcoming holiday season!”
Brittney Griner and the Mercury have been running Sole Shoe Drive for six going on seven seasons. In 2022, the campaign received 3,400 pairs of new shoes, while raising $30,000 for critical resources for Phoenix Rescue Mission, according to ABC.
“Thank you to all the fans in Phoenix and league-wide who joined me in supporting this cause by donating shoes or writing letters,” said Griner last year regarding Sole Shoe Drive.
Now, Griner and the Mercury will launch BG’s Holiday Toy Drive alongside the Sole Shoe Drive.
