Sheffield Steelers will be hosting their Teddy Bear Toss Night this Saturday as they head towards their last home game before Christmas.
The event will happen in the game against Glasgow Clan at the Utilita Arena at 7:00pm.
Teddy Bear Toss Night, in collaboration with Hallam FM’s Mission Christmas Appeal, invites fans to bring teddy bears or soft toys to the game.
During the Christmas season, junior ice hockey and minor league hockey games are the most regular venues for the popular teddy bear toss.
At the first Steelers goal, spectators will toss their bears onto the ice, creating a heart-warming spectacle. All collected toys will be donated to hospitals and local children’s charities, ensuring every child in Sheffield receives a gift this Christmas.
During last year’s festive season, the station’s Mission Christmas Appeal distributed gifts and goods to more than 18,000 disadvantaged children.
This year is also expected to make a remarkable impact with the mission in mind and to provide Santa a helping hand in obtaining gifts for children in our neighbourhood who might not otherwise receive them.
