Grand Rapids Tidal Waves deliver toys to Helen DeVos Children's Hospital

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- The Grand Rapids Tidal Waves delivered 783 toys to the Helen DeVos Children's Hospital on Thursday.

That culminated the women's sixth annual toy drive that was held over the past month.

“This is one of our favorite days of the year," team president Pamela Blazo said. “Our organization strives to be actively engaged in the community and this is one of our players’ favorite events throughout the year.”

“Seeing the number of items coming in is humbling,” player Mackenzie Phillips said.

The Tidal Waves continue to grow and expand the event each year and say plans are already underway for next year. 

The organization said it would like to thank the following businesses that partnered with the Waves this season to host collection boxes: Handy Wacks Corporation (Sparta), Grand Rapids Cookies & Cupcakes by Design (Grandville), Kent County 61st District Court – Treatment & Support Court (Grand Rapids), The Copper Vine (Grandville), Patti Herm School of Dance (Otsego), 9/8 Tattoo Collective (Otsego), West Michigan Chiropractic (Rockford), Premier Fitness & Wellness (Grand Rapids), Uncle Cheetah's Soup Shop (Forest Hills, Grand Rapids), The Old Goat (Grand Rapids), and Electric Cheetah (Cascade, Grand Rapids).
