‘Tis the Season to Give: Teddy Bear Toss Dec. 11 at men's hockey
December 01, 2021 | Men's Hockey
It’s time to spread holiday cheer and get into the giving spirit!
MADISON, Wis. — "It's the most wonderful time of the year."
One of the greatest joys for children around the holidays is opening presents. However, many families in the Madison and Dane County area struggle to meet the financial means to provide for the holidays. After a long two years, the gift of a fuzzy teddy bear is a something that all kids will cherish.
The fourth annual Teddy Bear Toss presented by BMO Harris Bank will take place at the men's hockey versus Penn State game on Saturday, Dec. 11 to provide teddy bear gifts to local, underprivileged children here in Dane County.
Fans coming to the hockey game are encouraged to bring new teddy bears.
If you're unable to purchase a bear, 20 oversized bears will be available for adoption on your way out of the Kohl Center following the men's hockey game on Thursday Dec. 2, versus the U.S. Under-18 Team. The goal of the adoption is to get bears in the hands of fans who will actively engage on social media drawing attention to the Toys for Tots Teddy Bear drive. The publicity will help encourage others to participate by bringing their own stuffed animals to the game to donate.
The task for adoption is to document your bear's adventures! Dress up your bear in your favorite UW sports apparel. Be sure to use #UWTeddyToss in all your social media posts to generate publicity to the Toys for Tots Teddy Toss. The best, most engaging bear photo throughout the week will be announced at the game and win a BMO Harris bank Visa Gift card!
In order to throw the teddy bears onto the ice, every stuffed animal must be bagged. Teddy bear bagging-stations will be located at each gate entrance of the Kohl Center.
Wisconsin Athletics is proud of its long-standing relationship with the United States Marines Corps and its Toys for Tots campaign, as well as partnering with BMO Harris Bank to make this possible.
So, join us in this exciting tradition by throwing your bagged teddy bears down onto the ice.
Doors open one and a half hours before the puck drops.
