Purdue Women's Basketball Hosts "Teddy Toss"

LUM Received All Stuffed Animals Collected
|
On December 23, the
Purdue Women's Basketball
team hosted their annual Holiday Bash. Fans were invited to wear their ugly Christmas sweaters, meet Santa Claus, and participate in "
Teddy Toss
."
During halftime of the game, Boilermaker fans threw hundreds of new stuffed animals onto the court. It was a fun holiday frenzy for a few minutes. All of the stuffed animals were then donated to
LUM
. Since then, the stuffed animals have either been distributed to the children of clients or incorporated into the LUM
After School Program
