Toy drive held for victims of violent crime

By ABC13
HOUSTON

Houston police officers collected 2,500 toys at the Lacrosse Classic in west Houston this weekend.

The toy drive was conceived two years ago by Julia Briggs, a 13-year-old who wanted to comfort children during a traumatic time.

Briggs died of cancer a short time later, but her friends and family took up the cause in her memory.
