Teddy Bear Toss Night

Saturday night was "Teddy Bear Toss Night" at the Chiefs game. It's an annual tradition where you bring a teddy bear to throw on the ice when the Chiefs score their first goal. The bears are collected and donated to children who need them. Here's a picture of me and the bear we brought. I quickly named our bear Charlie (he seemed like a Charlie to me). Here's a crazy video I shot of everyone throwing bears. It was crazy, and we were right behind a net so we were getting pelted with bears left and right!


All the bears were gathered off the ice and loaded into three pickup trucks. They announced that they gathered a new record - over 4000 bears! I hope Charlie will be loved for a long time.
