We’re used to hearing about teddy bear toss events during November and December. Some teams though hold their charity events in January and February.
And this doesn’t make them any less special. The Green Bay Gamblers for example held their 20th annual teddy bear toss on February 23rd.
A total of 7441 fans fans donated 7202 stuffed animals. That’s quite impressive. This bumps the total number of donated stuffed animals by the Gamblers to 119 888 over the course of 20 years.
7,202 bears were tossed after @nmprokop13‘s goal on Saturday night. Thank you to the presenting sponsor of the 20th Annual Teddy Bear Toss- @WPSHealth. #GoGamblers

The stuffed animals will go to local hospitals and charity organizations across Northeast Wisconsin. The team has already started to deliver most of the toys to local hospitals. They went to several hospitals on Monday to deliver the plushies and surprise kids.
