On the day of the game, Volunteers will arrive at Kia Center at 5:30pm. We will wait downstairs near the ice. When the Solar Bears score their first goal, fans will throw stuffed animals onto the ice. Volunteers will be needed to help collect all the stuffed animals and get them off the ice as quickly as possible to resume the game.

Once collected we will bag the bears and divide them among the organizations who are volunteering and load them into the box truck. Volunteers will then be invited to enjoy the remainder of the game from the stands.

There is a waiver that is required to fill out for each individual. So, if you sign up as a Team, please know you'll need to have every member fill out their own waiver.
