100s of Teddies

There was a teddy toss at the Nottingham Panthers ice hockey match on Saturday night, all the teddies were given to the Salvation Army. Two of us spent all day removing the plastic bags; (used to keep them dry and clean on the ice); sorting, counting and bagging them ready to be collected by various Salvation Army centers, we didn't quite finish the task before it was time get ready for Intone Club. When I found the koala I just had to include her for my Australian Friends

Wonderful collage. We have a teddy bear toss coming up and the bears go to the Children's hospital

@bkbinthecity Thank you, Two years ago some went to the hospital as well as us but we got them all since then. We give some to social services and other agencies we supply toys for as well at Christmas

Saw this on TV over here in Australia - I think it's a wonderful idea :) I'd be in Teddy 7th heaven helping collect them all. I love your collage and of course the adorable koala :) fav
