YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO - Youngstown SteelHounds General Manager Joe Gregory announced today the Hounds have partnered with Toys For Tots and the National Aviary for Toys For Tots weekend.

The Hounds will take on the Texas Brahmas on Friday, December 14th, and Saturday, December 15th. Fans are encouraged to bring items to donate to Toys For Tots to both 7:05 PM games. In addition, on Friday the 14th the first 500 kids 12 & under will receive a free SteelHounds Youth Jersey, Courtesy of Armstrong Cable. Saturday the 15th will also be the annual "Teddy Bear Toss." Fans can bring teddy bears to throw onto the ice after the Hounds score their first goal. All teddy bears collected will be donated to Toys For Tots.

This year there will be a new twist to the SteelHounds Teddy Bear Toss. All fans bringing a stuffed penguin to be donated will receive a ticket good for one free child's admission to the National Aviary. The National Aviary will be bringing a live African Penguin to the Chevrolet Centre on Saturday the 15th to participate in the festivities.

"We try to take advantage of every possibility to assist charitable endeavors," said Gregory. "We appreciate The National Aviary contributing to our annual efforts and look forward to having Simon the African Penguin visit the Chevrolet Centre."

The National Aviary is America's only independent indoor nonprofit zoo dedicated exclusively to birds. Located in West Park on Pittsburgh's historic North Side, the National Aviary's diverse collection comprises 600 birds representing more than 200 species from around the world, many of them threatened or critically endangered in the wild. The National Aviary's large walk-through exhibits create an experience unlike any other - an intimate, up-close interaction between visitors and free-flying birds, including opportunities to hand-feed and to meet many species rarely found anywhere else in the world.
