Fans are encouraged to bring new stuffed animals without breakable components to throw onto the ice following the Checkers’ first goal. The Checkers and Novant Health will then donate the stuffed animals to several local nonprofit organizations including Baby Bundles, Alexander Youth Network, Alliance Center For Education, Bright Blessings, Hugaroo, Inc., and The Salvation Army. Tickets for the game are on sale now.
In each of the 20 seasons that they have held a Teddy Bear Toss, the Checkers collect thousands of stuffed animals for children in our community.
🧸Another successful @NovantHealth Teddy Bear Toss is in the books!
