Pandemic Bear Success Story

We always value celebrating your successful promotions. Nice to receive a pat on the back (even if it is patting yourself on the back) and more importantly it tells fans your promotions are important to you. You are looking back at what you did, not just off into the future and the next promotion.

Acknowledging that your PAST promotions are an important part of your history tells fans your NEXT promotion will be important too.

With that in mind, we really like the Griffins here giving some context to their recent pandemic version of success. In a year when every promotion is different, the Griffins shared their Teddy Bear success under pandemic settings. Under a once in a life time environment no one can project what success looks like, which makes this decision even more bold. Teams often nab 10,000 bears or more, but with a drive up Toss the Griffins were proud to announce their successful effort of 800 bears, cash donations and food.

The community has more needs than ever so its wonderful to see teams persist with great efforts like these in Grand Rapids.

The final numbers are in from our Teddy Bear Toss & Holiday Drive event!

Nearly 800 stuffed animals collected

1,242 pounds of non-perishable food = 1,035 meals to families

Cash, coins & online donations totaling $1,398.53
