Giving back has become a core part of the TMU women’s volleyball team culture. This holiday season, the athletes organized a toy drive for children at SickKids Hospital.

All 15 team members participated in the toy drive. After collecting toys at their team gift exchange, they delivered the 15 donated toys to children at the hospital.
