Save the date to participate during halftime of the Bobcat men's basketball game
Bobcat fans can participate in a one-of-a-kind "Teddy Bear Toss" at Worthington Arena on Saturday, Dec. 9, as Montana State Athletics and Bank of Bozeman anticipate gathering up an unprecedented number of teddy bears to provide the young people attending Camp Braveheart, through Eagle Mount Bozeman. In the Inaugural Teddy Bear Toss in 2016, Bank of Bozeman and Learfield collected over 300 teddy bears and stuffed animals for the campers of Eagle Mount's Camp Braveheart.
Fans are encouraged to come to the 2 p.m. Cats' men's basketball game, as they host UC Santa Barbara, and bring new or unused teddy bears or other stuffed animals to throw out on the court during halftime. During the game, representatives will be on hand from Eagle Mount, the local organization which is committed to providing quality therapeutic recreational opportunities for people with disabilities and young people with cancer.
"We are excited to once again partner with Bank of Bozeman and Montana State University for this wonderful opportunity," said Jen Beaston Hedrick, Eagle Mount Executive Director. "The Teddy Bear Toss brings a unique, fun way for us to increase local awareness for our Big Sky Kids' program, camps for children with cancer. The Bozeman community has always been crucial to the success of Eagle Mount's programs and the opportunities we provide to our neighbors, friends and family members with disabilities and children fighting cancer. We are grateful for this partnership and awesome event."
"We are excited to partner with Eagle Mount and Montana State Athletics to bring this important event to Bozeman and raise awareness for Camp Braveheart and the work that Eagle Mount does in this community," said Bank of Bozeman President, Clinton Gerst.
"We are extremely excited to continue our partnership with Bank of Bozeman for the Second Annual Teddy Bear Toss," said Quinn Pacini, General Manager for Bobcat Sports Properties, MSU Athletics' multimedia rightsholder. "Through this partnership, we are able to provide an overwhelming amount of teddy bears and stuffed animals for the children of Eagle Mount's Camp Braveheart. We are grateful to have great corporate partners like Bank of Bozeman, who was enthusiastic about supporting this effort as a way to give back to the community we both hold dear. Eagle Mount is a deserving beneficiary and it's been fun creating enthusiasm for this event. We anticipate that this event will continue for years to come and become a staple of MSU Athletics."
Camp Braveheart is a camp for young children, five to 10 years old, who are now or have been in treatment for cancer. Campers come with their immediate families and stay at Hyalite Youth Camp. Activities include hiking, fishing, horseback riding, singing, kayaking, activities, games, campfires, crafts. Special guests fill the week, naturally complementing the magical memories and friendships built amongst the group.
In addition to Montana State, Learfield manages the multimedia and sponsorship rights for more than 120 collegiate institutions, conferences and arenas. The company also supports athletic departments at all competitive levels as title sponsor of the prestigious Learfield Directors' Cup.
