KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT)- Loved ones spend another holiday season making sure the memory of Ryan McDonald remains on the minds of others. A name to inspire hope for area kids dealing with difficult times during Christmas.

McDonald was shot to death in Central High School's cafeteria in August of 2008.

Each of the four years following that tragic day-- his family has held a toy drive in Ryan's honor.

On Friday, Ryan's uncle Roger stopped by the Helen Ross McNabb Children and Youth Center. He brought close to 300 donated toys with him. It's an effort to benefit Child and Family Tennessee.

Roger McDonald is proud to remember Ryan through the toy drive.

"The reason we do this, is so Ryan won't be forgotten, is really why we do it. So it makes me feel good to know that there are some kids that are going to benefit from a tragic incident that happened four years ago."

Roger says the toy drive gets bigger each year.

You can still help. Just drop off a toy at any Knoxville Ingles location before Monday.
