EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The University of Evansville women’s basketball team will hold the Teddy Bear Toss on December 10 when the Purple Aces host Morehead State at 7 p.m. in Meeks Family Fieldhouse.
Benefiting the Arc of Evansville Child Life Center, fans are encouraged to bring a new and unused teddy bear or stuffed animal to toss during halftime of the contest. Each stuffed animal will be given to a child at the Child Life Center. The fan who tosses their teddy bear closest to center court will win a Purple Aces prize pack including vouchers to a future basketball game.
Fans who bring a teddy bear or stuffed animal to the game will receive $3 tickets to the game for everyone in their party.
