The remaining bears will be delivered by the Kalamazoo Wings, Slappy and Santa Claus to patients of The Children's Hospital at Bronson on Monday, December 17th at 2 p.m.

Over the past seven years, the K-Wings have collected thousands of stuffed animals that were distributed to children during the holidays.
