Teddy Bear Toss

Plymouth Community United Way
and the Plymouth Whalers are hoping it will rain a torrent of teddy bears after
the hockey team scores its’ first goal against the Guelph Storm Saturday, Dec.
7, at Compuware Arena, 14900 Beck, Plymouth.

This year, the 14th
annual Teddy Bear Toss will not only provide toys to brighten the holidays of
needy children, but pay tribute to the different branches of the United States Armed
Forces with a Salute to Our Heroes on Pearl Harbor Day.

Active and veteran soldiers
with Military ID will be admitted to the game free. Discounted $10 tickets are
available for their family members.

Local representatives, on
behalf of the military branches, will receive certificates of thanks during a special
ceremony. Fans at the game will have the chance to show their appreciation by
writing postcards to thank soldiers for their service.

For information, call Randi
Williams at (734) 453-8679, ext. 7 or email randi.williams@pcuw.org.

For tickets, call (734)
453-8400 or visit plymouthwhalers.com.

Last year, over 1200 teddy
bears were thrown onto the ice creating an avalanche of stuffed animals.

This year, fans are being
asked to bring an abundance of bears to top that total. The fun begins at 7:05
p.m.
