The Lehigh Valley Phantoms’ annual Teddy Bear Toss, which was held virtually this past year, was a big success with $2,128 raised by Phantoms Phans! 

Presented by Dan’s Camera City, this fan-favorite event draws a significant number of teddy bear and stuffed donations each year to be distributed to Lehigh Valley youth served by Valley Youth House. 

While Phantoms Phans weren’t able to gather at a game to throw the stuffed animals onto the ice like they traditionally would, they were still able to support youth in our community virtually by making donations online. With the money raised, we were able to receive 500 brand new stuffed animals through a local family business, Curto Toys! 

These brand new stuffed animals were received by youth served in VYH programs, bringing them lots of joy and comfort in trying times. 

We are so happy to be able to keep this tradition alive, even during the tremendous challenges presented within the past year. Thank you to the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, Dan’s Camera City, Curto Toys, and all of the generous Phantoms Phans and donors who have made Teddy Bear Toss 2020 a success.
