Toys for Happiness has been a holiday tradition since1986 when WRHI solicited listeners to help provide toys for 45 needy families at the Pilgrim’s Inn in Rock Hill. The last-minute request resulted in over 300 donated toys and launched a campaign that has served the community every year since. For nearly 20 years, the United Way of York County partnered with the Radio stations helping the campaign grow into one of the area’s most important holiday events.

The Toys For Happiness Foundation is a 501c3 charity and is managed by Director Karen Jiran and OTS Special Events Manager, Tyler Cupp. The campaign generates as many as 28,000 toys each year for local community members. Over 40 years this program has served this community and provided over 1 MILLION toys to those in need in York, Lancaster and Chester counties.  The Rock Hill School District 3 is a major partner and provides strategic support each year.

Donations serve the needs of ParentSMART, Rock Hill School District 3, Town of Clover, York School District 1, Counseling Services of Lancaster, Chester County School District, Habitat for Humanity of York County, Fort Mill School District 4 & Fort Mill’s Historic Paradise and other local organizations and churches.
