The Checkers' annual Teddy Bear Toss will take place Sunday, Dec. 4, when the team hosts the Lake Erie Monsters. The teddy bears will be thrown on the ice after the first Checkers goal, collected and delivered to Presbyterian Hemby Children's Hospital during the holidays.

Bring a like-new, wrapped in plastic teddy bear to any home game between now and Dec. 4 (Nov. 18, Nov. 20, Nov. 26, Nov. 27, Nov. 30, Dec. 3) and you will receive a FREE ticket, courtesy of Presbyterian Hemby Children's Hospital.

Each year, approximately 3,000 children spend time at Presbyterian Hemby Children's Hospital and we want to ensure every one of those children gets a bear. For more information on Presbyterian Hospital, visit www.presbyterian.org.
