JAG PT and Princeton Athletics donate 1,000 teddy bears to Greater Somerset County YMCA

JAG Physical Therapy has recapped another successful Teddy Bear Toss event in partnership with Princeton Athletics. This annual philanthropic collaboration was held in December, and over 1,000 stuffed animals were donated to children in the Greater Somerset County YMCA’s childcare and development programs.

JAG Physical Therapy and Princeton Athletics are thrilled to once again select Greater Somerset County YMCA as the recipient of this year’s Teddy Bear Toss donations, to further benefit children in the organization’s childcare programs.

The YMCA’s commitment to further strengthening the community, enhancing the development of youth and empowering health and well-being is aligned with that of JAG Physical Therapy and Princeton Athletics.

The Teddy Bear Toss is a popular holiday season promotional event aiming to support the Greater Somerset County YMCA’s mission of inspiring children to reach their full potential through programs that foster holistic growth in spirit, mind, and body. Taking place at Princeton Athletics Men’s and Women’s Hockey and Basketball games, this event encourages fans to bring stuffed animals to toss onto the court or rink following their team’s first goal of the game.

“On behalf of the entire JAG Physical Therapy team, we are honored to continue supporting the Greater Somerset County YMCA and aid the wonderful initiatives of their organization,” John Gallucci Jr., president & CEO of JAG Physical Therapy said. “We look forward to carrying on this annual event with Princeton Athletics to provide holiday cheer and increased opportunities for local youth and individuals within our community.”

In 2023, the Teddy Bear Toss event reached new heights with over 1,000 stuffed animals being donated to the Greater Somerset County YMCA. JAG Physical Therapy and Princeton Athletics maintained this standard of success with 2024’s annual event, having the opportunity to again donate over 1,000 stuffed toys to local children in the community.
