JERSEY - The Jersey Community High School boys basketball team hosted their annual toy drive Friday, Dec. 5, 2025, during the basketball games against Carlinville High School at Haven’s Gymnasium.

Fans attending the games were encouraged to bring new, unwrapped toys to donate, with all contributions going to Tri County Charitable Ministries.

In exchange for their donations, attendees had their names entered into a drawing for a $100 JCBA gift card, which was drawn at halftime of the boys varsity game.
