Benefit local Children, SWOCC news release.  The Teddy Bear Toss, an annual event to support local children will take place this coming Saturday at the SWOCC Prosper Hall Gym, during halftime of the Men’s Basketball game. The event is organized by SWOCC’s Junior Chamber of Commerce. Anyone who brings a new stuffed animal to the game gets free admission. Then, during halftime the stuffed animals are thrown onto the court and are collected for the Kids’ HOPE Center and Bay Area Hospital’s Pediatric Unit. Toys like these provide some much needed comfort for children who may be going through a difficult time. Members of the media are invited to attend the Teddy Bear Toss this Saturday. The game starts at 4:00 p.m. If you have questions or need additional information, contact Barbara Bauder at (541) 269-8543.
