When fans came to the Delta Center to see the Utah Jazz play December 12 and 14, they brought more than just their tickets. They brought toys. The Utah Jazz were taking part in the Marine Corp?s annual Toys for Tots campaign.
The Jazz have been a part of Toys for Tots for the past 21 years, making it a holiday tradition for the team and fans. Every fan that came to the game could bring a toy or donate money. This year, the Jazz and Marines collected two truckloads of toys, along with $2,500. The money would be used by the Marines to buy presents for the older children.
