New toys will be collected and subsequently donated to Kosair Children's Hospital at the Cardinals' Dec. 19 men's basketball game against Western Kentucky.
New toys for any age or gender will be collected in the lobby of the KFC Yum! Center. The collection is associated with UofL Athletics' CardsCARE program and Kyle's Korner for Kids, the community outreach established in 2011 by former Cardinals forward Kyle Kuric while a UofL student. About 2,000 toys have been donated annually by Cardinal fans at similar collections in previous years.
Kuric, who has been playing basketball for Herbalife Gran Canaria in Spain for the past two seasons, is currently recovering from brain surgery.
