#WGN coverage: A truck full of toys delivered to bring joy and countless smiles this holiday season. Thanks to the effort of employees at Reyes #CocaCola and student athletes a part of the @BODYARMORseries, a truck full of toys was delivered with @PaulKonrad during the @WGNMorningNews Toy Drive on Friday in #Chicago. The selfless efforts of many to collect and donate toys will help ensure that 1,000s of children from low-income families have gifts this #Christmas. Featured during the delivery were two high school programs: The Saint Ignatius girls cross-country team, which became the first girls program from Chicago to win a cross-country state title. De La Salle boys soccer team won the school’s first state trophy in a record-breaking 27-win season.

#ABC/#FOX/#Univision/#CBS coverage of a five-sport high school student athlete brought to tears. Melissa Gama-Sanchez of @BeNoblePritzker on #Chicago’s West Side was honored and surprised for everything she does OFF the field to help enhance the lives of others on Wednesday morning. This past summer, Melissa was one of the few high school students in the U.S. selected to travel with the Global Glimpse Program to the #DominicanRepublic. The special selection helped enhance Melissa’s leadership skills through service-learning projects with a focus on building, understanding and inspiring students to create positive change within their communities. It was in the Dominican where Melissa said she realized what her mother has been telling her for years: The importance of being grateful. Melissa, who plays basketball, rugby, flag football, soccer and runs track, has long been a teen leader at Pritzker, where she focuses on peer leadership and their personal development. Along with the special classroom presentation, Melissa was presented two tickets to a sport or concert event of her choosing and a check to donate to her favorite charity. This was all a part of the 108th consecutive month - 9 years - of the #MakingADifferenceOnANDOffTheField campaign presented by @BuddysHELPERS in partnership with @DrinkBODYARMOR @DUDEwipes and @tidlsport. #SelfCareYOUCare #SelfActualization #IHSA #CPS @BeNobleLeague @pritzkerjaguars @BODYARMORseries
