LOVELAND, Colo. - On December 13th the Colorado Eagles and 107.9 The Bear will be asking Eagles fans to help make the holidays a little more special for hundreds of disadvantaged children across Northern Colorado. During that night's game against the Stockton Thunder, fans are encouraged to bring a new or gently-used teddy bear or stuffed animal to the arena and toss it onto the ice after the first Eagles goal is scored. These bears will then be collected and distributed to the Child Advocacy Resource Education, United Daycare Center and the Kids Matter Project.

"I've always loved the holidays. I love them even more with the "Bear toss" at the Budweiser Events Center with the Colorado Eagles. To witness a couple of thousand bears falling from the sky and onto the ice at an Eagles game is awesome and to know those bears will be in the hands of a child in need in Colorado is something special. The Bear thanks the Colorado Eagles, The Budweiser Events Center, and Pederson Toyota for being a part of the Bear toss," Doc Jarnagin from 107.9 The Bear expressed.

If fans were unable to bring a bear, or if they would like to have more than one bear to throw onto the ice, Pedersen Toyota Scion has graciously purchased 500 additional bears, which will be available in exchange for a small donation to local children's charities. The bears will be available that night at the 107.9 The Bear booth next to the Eagles merchandise stand on the main concourse.

If fans are unable to make it to the Teddy Bear Toss game, they are encouraged to drop bear donations off at the 107.9 The Bear Studios (iHeartMedia, 4270 Byrd Drive Loveland, Colorado), Pedersen Toyota or the Colorado Eagles Holiday Store at the Promenade Shops at Centerra.

Thank you in advance to the best fans in hockey for helping local area children to have a happier holiday season!
