The WGN Morning News Drive-Thru Toy Drive celebrated its 15th year, the first year benefiting SocialWorks Chicago, a youth empowerment charity.

WGN is Tribune’s Chicago independent.

This five-hour event featured Santa, holiday fun and an appearance by Chance the Rapper. Viewers and companies drove through to drop off a record 37,000 toys for needy kids.

All toys will be donated to Chance The Rapper’s nonprofit SocialWorks, a 501c3 charity, and will be dispersed to Chicagoland children and families in need.

SocialWorks aims to empower youth through the arts, education, and civic engagement while fostering leadership, accessibility, and positivity within the youth throughout Chicago.

As you can see below, Chance the Rapper is also pretty good at weather forecasting.
