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. The gift of a fuzzy teddy bear is something that all kids cherish.
The sixth annual Teddy Bear Toss presented by BMO will take place at the men’s hockey versus Michigan State game on Saturday, Dec. 6, to provide teddy bear and stuffed animal gifts to local, underprivileged children here in Dane County.
Fans coming to the hockey game are encouraged to bring new teddy bears and stuffed animals.
Through the gift of a teddy bear, our goal is to send a message of hope to the less fortunate. Wisconsin Athletics is proud of its long-standing relationship with the United States Marines Corp and its Toys for Tots campaign, as well as partnering with BMO to make this possible.
It would help if you bagged every stuffed bear to throw them onto the ice. Teddy Bear bagging stations are at each gate entrance of the Kohl Center.
Join Wisconsin Athletics in this delightful tradition by throwing your bagged teddy bears down onto the ice after the game.
Doors open an hour and a half before the puck drops at 7 p.m.
