CBS47's On Your Side Collection Drive was Wednesday, July 28th from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
CBS47 partnered with the Boys & Girls Club, the Fresno Grizzlies and Central Java Cafe to collect donations of new or gently used Sports Equipment for Basketball, Soccer & Baseball and Back to School Supplies to help the underprivileged children in the Central Valley.
And as a special treat, we had Parker from the Fresno Grizzlies in the CBS47 parking lot from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and gave away Grizzlies tickets to those who donated.
You can still drop off donations between 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. at any of the Boys & Girls Clubs in Fresno, Huron, Orange Cove, Sanger, Oakhurst and Del Rey.
