CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Checkers’ annual Teddy Bear Toss, presented by Novant Health, will take place on Saturday, Nov. 30, during the 4 p.m. game against the Iowa Wild. Fans are encouraged to bring new stuffed animals without breakable components to throw onto the ice following the Checkers’ first goal. The Checkers and Novant Health will then donate the stuffed animals to several local nonprofit organizations including Baby Bundles, Alexander Youth Network, Alliance Center For Education, Giving Tree Charity, Bright Blessings and Hugaroo, Inc. This marks the 20th season that the Checkers have held a Teddy Bear Toss. The team collects thousands of stuffed animals for children in our community each time.
