Needy children will have their holidays brightened by the generosity of students at the University of Houston Law Center, who donated more than $4,000 during the school’s 20th annual Holiday Toy Drive.

Richard Alderman, associate dean for academic affairs at the Law Center, made the official presentation to Elizabeth Haberer and Lisa Baldwin Andrews of the Children’s Assessment Center and D’Andrea Wade of Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church. Both organizations plan to use the funds to buy toys for needy children for the holidays.

“Even in the middle of studying for final exams, our students took up the cause for kids who needed help. We topped our fund-raising goal, and we helped make a difference for kids during a time of year that really counts,” Alderman said.
