Cornwall River Kings to hold Teddy Bear Toss December 21st
Cornwall Ontario — The River Kings will be holding a Teddy Bear toss next Saturday, Dec. 21 when Cornwall hosts Riviere-du-Loup at the Civic Complex.
Members of the Cornwall Professional Fire Fighter’s Association will be on hand for the Sparky’s Toy Drive Teddy Bear Toss.
“There is no better feeling than the feeling of giving at Christmas,” said River Kings co-owner David Small.
Fans are asked to bring a new or gently used Teddy Bear to the game. When the River Kings score their first goal of the contest, the bears will be tossed onto the ice.
“Cornwall is known for its generosity,” said Small. “We have no doubt the community will come together for this neat charity event.”
In other Kings news, the team will be hosting a fundraiser on Wednesday, Dec. 18 at Shoeless Joe’s. General manager Al Wagar, along with Steve Proulx, will be stringing out tunes from 7-11 p.m. There will be silent auctions and prizes.
