Augusta Lynx News Release
Augusta, GA - Augusta Lynx players Dave McKee, Shane Hynes, Jamie Johnson, Dirk Southern, and Mike Erickson will join Louie the Lynx at Doctor's Hospital at 2 pm today to distribute toys collected during the annual Teddy Bear Toss last Saturday.
Louie and the players will visit the pediatric and burn units at the hospital, spreading holiday cheer and stuffed animals to the children at Doctor's Hospital. Thanks to the generosity of Lynx fans at Friday's game, the Lynx will be able to distribute over 300 toys this Christmas.
"The Lynx would like to thank the generosity and support of our fans for making this possible," said Lynx director of community relations Cari Weaver. "Our organization is always looking to give back to the community, and thanks to Julie Plummer and Doctor's Hospital we're able to do that today."
In addition to the annual Teddy Bear Toss and working with local charities and hospitals, the Lynx have also teamed with Toys for Tots and the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Augusta to help the less fortunate in the CSRA. Thank you to everyone who has made this season of caring a major success!
