Brown to Host "Toys for Tots" Events
PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Brown University Athletics is teaming up
with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve for the Annual Toys for Tots
Drive. The primary goal of Toys for Tots is to deliver, through a
shiny new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to needy youngsters
that will motivate them to grow into responsible, productive,
patriotic citizens and community leaders.
Brown has scheduled six opportunities for people to contribute to
Toys for Tots this month. If fans bring a new, unwrapped toy to any
of these events, they will be admitted to the game for free.
The six Toys for Tots games are:
• Friday, December 5 - Men's Ice Hockey vs. Union 7:00pm
• Friday, December 5 - Women's Basketball vs. LIU 7:00pm
• Saturday, December 6 - Women's Basketball, LIU vs. UMASS
4:00pm
• Saturday, December 6 -Men's Ice Hockey vs. RPI 7:00pm
• Sunday, December 7 - Women's Basketball vs. UMASS
4:00pm
• Tuesday, December 9 - Men's Basketball vs. Hartford
7:00pm
Brown's campaign culminates with the 2nd Annual Teddy Bear Toss
during halftime of the men's basketball game against Hartford on
December 9. All fans bringing a new teddy bear to this game will be
admitted for free and be able to participate in the halftime
contest. The winner of the Teddy Bear Toss will win an exclusive
prize pack from many of Brown's corporate sponsors.
"This is a great program for the Bears to be involved with. It
gives us the opportunity to give back to the community during this
holiday season", said Brown University Athletic Director, Michael
Goldberger.
