Louisville Basketball Toy Drive for Wednesday’s Game vs. Lipscomb

Mark BlankenbakerDecember 9, 2018

New toys will be collected and subsequently donated to Norton’s Childrens Hospital and Home of the Innocents prior to the Cardinals’ Dec. 12 men’s basketball game against Lipscomb. New toys for any age or gender will be collected at the entrance of the KFC Yum! Center.

The collection is associated with UofL Athletics’ CardsCARE program and Kyle’s Korner for Kids, the community outreach established in 2011 by former Cards’ forward Kyle Kuric while a UofL student. Kuric, who has been playing professional basketball for the past four seasons and is currently with FC Barcelona Lassa in Spain, helped the Cardinals reach the 2012 Final Four (later vacated) as a senior.

For those who wish to contribute a toy to the drive and cannot attend the Dec. 12 game, toys may be dropped at the UofL Athletics offices on the second floor of the Swain Student Activities Center located at 2100 South Floyd Street. Toys will be accepted weekdays between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. through Dec. 11.
