Hockey fans threw thousands of stuffed animals onto the ice during the annual Hershey Bears stuffed animal raffle. The collected stuffed animals will now be distributed to more than 60 local charities through the club’s Hershey Bears Cares program, where they will go to children in need.
The Bears collected 81,796 stuffed animals, bringing the total number of teddy bears and stuffed animals collected to 648,246 since Hershey held its first Teddy Bear Toss event in 2001.
