Nash FM 97.3 teams ups with the Children’s Hospital of Illinois and Bob Lindsey Acura for Teddy Bear Drive 2016

-
Peoria’s Country, Nash FM 97.3 is proud to once again be partnering with the Children’s Hospital of Illinois for the annual Teddy Bear Drive, sponsored by Bob Lindsay Acura. Please help us by donating new teddy bears. 

Teddy Bears can be dropped off at our studio located at 120 Eaton St. in Peoria, Monday through Friday from 8am – 5pm.  This year Bob Lindsey Acura will also be a drop off location as they look to fill an Acura MDX in their show room with teddy bears.

The final day to drop off teddy bears at both locations will be February 5th.  After that, we will begin packing up the bears for delivery to the Children’s Hospital of Illinois on February 10th. 


Our goal is to collect more than 2,000 bears this year.  Our delivery will make for a nice pre-Valentine’s gift for any child who is in the hospital that day, but the Children’s Hospital uses our donation year round to give to sick kids.
