The 6th Annual Teddy Bear Toss at the Budweiser Event Center

At December 8th's Colorado Eagles Game vs the Gulls, we scored big! Not only did we win the game but we achieved a new record for the Teddy Bear Toss. A total of 14 truck loads and more than 10,000 teddy bears and stuffed animal gifts were collected! We are so proud to be a part of this community which has helped us six years and counting with donations that make a difference for children through local charities. Thank you to our customers, the Colorado Eagles, 92.9 The Bear for helping make Christmas a little brighter for those in need. Merry Christmas!

2018 Teddy Bear Toss!

WINDSOR, CO. – 92.9 The Bear, an iHeart Media Station and Pedersen Toyota Fort Collins are proud to team up for the 6th annual Colorado Eagles “Teddy Bear Toss” on Saturday, December 8th, as the Eagles take on the San Diego Gulls. The Colorado Eagles and 92.9 The Bear will be asking Eagles fans to help make the holidays a little more special for thousands of disadvantaged children across Northern Colorado. During that night’s game against the Gulls, fans are encouraged to bring a new or gently-used teddy bear or stuffed animal to the arena and toss it onto the ice after the first Eagles goal is scored. These bears will then be collected and distributed to the Northern Colorado Children’s Charities.

"I've always loved the holidays. I love them even more with the Bear Toss at the Budweiser Events Center with The Colorado Eagles," Nate Wilde from 92.9 The Bear expressed. "To witness a few thousand bears falling from the sky and onto the ice at an Eagles game is amazing in itself, but to know that those bears will be in the hands of a child in need makes it even more special. 92.9 The Bear thanks The Colorado Eagles, The Budweiser Events Center, and Pederson Toyota for being a part of the Bear Toss game."

If fans are unable to bring a bear, or if they would like to have more than one bear to throw onto the ice, a limited number of bears will be available in exchange for a small donation to the Colorado Eagles Foundation. The bears will be available that night at the 92.9 The Bear booth in the Water Valley Tap on the main concourse.

We have three drop off locations at the 92.9 The Bear Studios (iHeartMedia, 4270 Byrd Drive Loveland, Colorado), Pedersen Toyota in Fort Collins or the Colorado Eagles Holiday Store at the Promenade Shops at Centerra.

3-15-17 Giving Back

This month Wayne and Lauren Harvey were nearly killed on I70 when high winds pushed over a semi on to their Volvo, crushing their car, and just missing their two daughters Echo and Estelle. Their vehicle was dragged along I-70 more than 100 yards. Lauren and Wayne say Volvo’s sturdiness of their Volvo saved their lives.

Pedersen Volvo, Rickenbaugh Volvo, McDonald Volvo, Penkus Volvo, and Sill Terhar Volvo all pitched in to cover what insurance wouldn’t and presented the family with a new Volvo along with new car seats.

“I heard that they had started a GoFundMe page because insurance wasn’t covering some things, and I didn’t think that was okay, so I wanted to make sure that if insurance wasn’t going to make sure that they could continue to stay safe, then I would,” said Ryan Burr, Sales Manager at Pedersen Volvo.

“I’m just beyond thankful and beyond grateful that people saw our family and thought we were enough to do something like this,” Lauren said. The Harvey’s hope Volvo’s generosity will inspire others to pay it forward.
