Three local first responders units are the recipients of 63 StarBoard Cares Bears on behalf of the Lancer community.
Three local first responder units are the recipients of 63 StarBoard Cares Bears on behalf of the Lancer community.
In a new tradition, the Lancers purchased two bears per varsity team (7 teams x 2 bears = 14 bears in total) that were to be presented to first responder representatives at the annual Athletic Banquet in March. This initiative was extended to the college community where people could purchase teddy bears that are then donated to local firefighters, paramedics and police officers. The first responders keep bears in their vehicles and hand them out to children found on scene in traumatic situations. The teddy bears provide some comfort and warmth to the child during a scary and traumatic situations.
Thanks to the gracious Lancer community, 63 bears were collected and donated to the Quinte West Fire, Quinte West Paramedic, and Belleville Police Services.
This donation could not have been possible without the support of the incredible people listed below. THANK YOU to everyone who donated and helped us kick off this tradition of giving:
