Organizers behind a charity basketball game and toy drive in DeKalb are hoping to score some points for area youth and families in need this holiday season.

On Dec. 1, the annual event pitting members of the DeKalb police and fire departments against faculty and staff from DeKalb School District 428 will make its return to Huntley Middle School, 1515 S. Fourth St., in DeKalb, according to a flyer.

During the event, representatives from the DeKalb County Marines will be on site to collect donations and proceeds.

All the contributions collected will go to support children and families in need in DeKalb County, according to a flyer.

The highlight of the event is traditionally the charity basketball game, which tips off at 7 p.m. Doors will open to the public at 6:30 p.m.

Admission is $5 or one new unwrapped toy worth at least $5, according to a flyer.

Bragging rights will be up for grabs by the game’s end. Last year, the school district’s faculty and staff pulled out the win.
