iHeartMedia Philadelphia is teaming up with Boost Mobile and Cradles to Crayons® to launch the “Boost Up for Winter” campaign, a large-scale community coat drive in support of the Cradles to Crayons Gear Up for Winter initiative. From now until Sunday, December 22 the drive will aim to collect and distribute 20,000 warm winter coats and other essential items to children and families in need across the Greater Philadelphia area. Cradles to Crayons distributes donated items via a robust network of Service Partner organizations—like hospitals, schools, and community centers.
As winter approaches, many families face the harsh reality of inadequate protection against cold weather. Too often, the cost of winter wear and boots are out of reach for the more than 300,000 children living in low-income or homeless situations in Greater Philadelphia. Through this campaign, iHeartMedia Philadelphia, Boost Mobile and Cradles to Crayons are committed to ensuring that local children have the clothing and essentials necessary to stay warm at home, at school, and at play throughout the season.
Donation Drive Details:
Donation Goal: Collect and distribute 20,000 winter coats and other critical items to families before severe weather sets in.
Drop-Off Locations: More than 40 participating Boost Mobile locations will serve as collection sites across the region from November 25 through December 22. Community members are encouraged to donate new or gently used winter coats and other winter essentials in all sizes, newborn to adult.

During the campaign, Boost Mobile will also be launching its annual “Santa Events,” bringing even more holiday cheer to Philadelphia communities.
