Toys for Tots teddy bear toss tonight at men’s hockey game

The men’s hockey team will hold the first Toys For Tots Teddy Bear Toss tonight during the home game against Hamline University at 7 p.m.

Fans attending are encouraged to bring a teddy bear or stuffed animal — preferably new, but used in good condition will also be accepted and appreciated. Teddy bears will also be available at the area for a donation of $1.

After the first SMU goal in the first period — or at the end of the first period — fans will have an opportunity to throw their teddy bears and/or stuffed animals onto the ice. They will then be collected and go directly to benefit children in the local Winona area through Toys for Tots.

If you are unable to make it to the game, donate your gently used teddy bears from home for a good cause. Labeled boxes are on 1st floor of Saint Mary’s Hall and in the Office of Campus Ministry. Your bear will be available to fans without a teddy bear for a $1 donation and all proceeds will benefit Winona Toys for Tots.
