Come out and meet celebrities and athletes while making a difference in children's lives.

The Gwinnett Braves have teamed up with Venture Sport Shows to host their 13th annual Toys for Tots Drive at Coolray Field, according to a Nov. 22 press release. The event, which takes place Dec. 9 – 11, will bring together celebrities and athletes in support of the toy drive.

Hall of Fame's Phil Niekro and Atlanta Brave's Otis Nixon will be signing autographs during the event for those who bring in a new, unwrapped toy. Atlanta Falcon William Andrews, Harlem Globetrotter Harold Hubbard and Professional Wrestler Rocky King will also make an appearance. The exact times and dates of each celebrity's arrival will be posted closer to the time of the event.
