"We were excited to be able to donate the toys that we've collected to such a hard-working, compassionate and generous club," said Devyn Kelley, SAAC Community Engagement Coordinator and member of the women's soccer team. "Thank you to everyone who supported us in this initiative. I believe the Boys and Girls Club of San Marcos is making a brighter tomorrow for our younger generations."
