About this episode

The episode discusses the Secret Elf Toy Drive and how to participate in bringing joy to children during the holiday season.

It's the season of giving, and once again Boone Electric Cooperative is partnering with Q106.1's Secret Elf Toy Drive to bring some holiday joy to kids at MU Children's Hospital. Head elves Q106.1's Damon Knight and Children's Miracle Network Assistant Director Kristen Fritchie join the show to discuss the 16-year legacy of this homegrown initiative, the best gifts to give this holiday season and — most importantly — how to participate in the 2025 toy drive.
