COLUMBIA, Mo. - The University of Missouri women's basketball team is teaming up with the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation to collect toys for mid-Missouri children this December.

All fans who bring a new, unwrapped toy to Mizzou's next four home games on Dec. 7 (UT Martin), Dec. 11 (UMKC), Dec. 19 (NJIT) and Dec. 21 (UC-Riverside) will receive free admission to the contest.

The mission of the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community in which the campaign is conducted.
