NBC26's former Three Degree Guarantee partner, B.A.B.E.S., Inc., teamed up Thursday with Woodward Radio Group and Kimberly Clark for their Kids and Christmas Drive-Thru Toy Drive.
 
The PhilCast show broadcasted live from 3:00pm-7:00pm at the B.A.B.E.S. location in Appleton. They asked people to drop off toys to benefit the child abuse prevention program. The toys will be given to children at the non-profit organization's annual holiday party.
 
"We've never done an official toy drive before especially to this magnitude, so for the PhilCast show to say, 'You know what? Let's partner and do something special for the community,' this is really, really big," said B.A.B.E.S. Executive Director Elder M. Williams. 
 
B.A.B.E.S. offers free respite services, parent counseling, and more. 
 
Volunteers from Fox Valley Technical College were also on-hand to collect donations. People could just hand the gifts out of their car windows and avoid the cold.
