We’re Collecting Toys For The Children Of Shreveport With Our 24-Hours of Giving

We all know 2022 has been a rough year for so many, and so many more people need help – now more than ever, in Shreveport and beyond.

So, Q97.3, CUMULUS MEDIA, Learning Express Toys of Shreveport and The Louisiana Boardwalk Outlets are teaming up together to collect toys and monetary donations to help children in the ArkLaTex and Shreveport area through Toys for Tots.

Q97.3’s Jay Whatley will live at the Louisiana Boardwalk Outlets for 24-Hours and be live on Q97.3 collecting toys and donations on Friday December 9th!

You’ll be able to hear Jay live on Q97.3 and stream him live as he turns the old J. Crew store at the Louisiana Boardwalk Outlets into his new apartment for the day. Once the day begins Jay can’t leave for 24 hours, or until we reach out toy and donation goals. Jay Whatley’s inconvenience of having to work and live in an empty store front alone for 24-hours isn’t nearly as bad as the hard times that so many in the Shreveport area and ArkLaTex areas are facing this year.

Our goal is to make sure we can help at least 100 families!

Drop off a new unwrapped toy at the Louisiana Boardwalk near the Christmas tree and fountain. You can also make a donation by texting TOY to 318-320-0973 or by clicking here
