NIAGARA UNIV., N.Y. – The Niagara hockey team will host a Teddy Bear Toss presented by the Beverly Hills Teddy Bear Company, benefitting the Carly’s Club for Kids & Cancer Research at Roswell Park Cancer Institute, on Friday, Jan. 10 when the Purple Eagles host the AIC Yellow Jackets at 7:05 p.m.
Carly’s Club exists to offer support programs to make life more manageable for children diagnosed with cancer and their families, and to raise funds for pediatric cancer research seeking cures at Roswell Park.
The Purple Eagles are asking the community to lend a hand in their mission in sending a message of hope to needy children in the area by offering new toys for distribution.
Fans that bring a new stuffed animal to the game will be able to toss them onto the ice following the Purple Eagles’ first goal of the game. There will also be general reserved tickets available for $10 which includes a teddy bear provided by the Beverly Hill Teddy Bear Company and a $5 donation to Carly’s Club.
The only items permitted on the ice are soft items (i.e. stuff animals, Nerf sports, etc.), while all other donations can be dropped off at the Ticket Office.
