Drive brings in 300 gifts for Red Santa
Taylor’s youth baseball and softball players hit home runs with a toy drive to help Operation Red Santa give children in need a merry Christmas.
Taylor Area Baseball & Softball hosted its second annual Holiday Hitters Toy Drive Dec. 6-7 at Taylor Regional Park.
The tournament featured 28 teams in three divisions: 8-under, 10-under and 12-under.
More than 300 gifts for the toy drive were provided to the Taylor Fire Department and its community initiative – Operation Red Santa.
