When you think of basketball, you do not often think of teddy bears.
Yet you would if you were in the women's basketball game Vanderbilt University on December 21
This was when the annual Teddy Bear Toss took place. The event invites fans to make, then launch, brand new teddy bear on a target in the center of the court. For a few frantic minutes, fans are competing to land their bears in the center and win a set of Vanderbilt price.
The real winners, however, are the sick children in the community. After the draw, the Bears were picked so that the team basketball women Vanderbilt could personally deliver them to children who spend the holidays at the Hospital of Monroe Carell Jr. Children at Vanderbilt University .
This year, ERIE got into the action by being the title sponsor of the game on 21 December. Agents and employees in Tennessee also conducted a separate drive to benefit the children spend the holidays in the hospital.
"There were literally hundreds of teddy bears collected during the draw as well as many additional donations ERIE agents and employees," said Lindsay Tisdale, a senior specialist business support.
