The Hits 96 Teddy Bear Bonanza!
One teddy bear could make a child’s holiday brighter AND win you an incredible prize package!
The holiday season is all about giving, and Hits 96 is bringing back one of our favorite holiday traditions — the Teddy Bear Bonanza!
We’re teaming up with Food City and the UTC Mocs to collect teddy bears for the Children’s Hospital at Erlanger, and we need YOUR help to spread a little extra holiday cheer!
Not only will your donation help bring comfort and smiles to local children, but you’ll also have a chance to win a HUGE prize package just for participating!
Donate a Teddy Bear & Enter to Win BIG!
Starting Monday, November 16th, through Wednesday, December 16th, stop by the Hits 96 studios (2615 Broad Street, Chattanooga, TN) between 9am-5pm and donate a BRAND NEW teddy bear.
IMPORTANT: All donated teddy bears MUST be BRAND NEW! We cannot accept used teddy bears.
For every brand new teddy bear you donate, you’ll receive ONE entry into our Teddy Bear Bonanza Grand Prize Giveaway!
That’s right! One bear = one entry. Bring 5 brand new teddy bears, and you’ll receive 5 entries!
One lucky listener will take home ALL of these incredible prizes: 70-inch Flat-Screen TV / PlayStation 5 / Nintendo Switch 2 / Family Four Pack of Tickets to Dollywood
ONE winner takes home EVERYTHING!
The grand prize winner will be announced during The Afternoon Show with Gino D on Wednesday, December 16th at 5pm, before the UTC Mocs basketball game that night!
PLUS! The Teddy Bear Bonanza doesn’t end at the radio station. It all leads up to one of Chattanooga‘s most heartwarming holiday traditions!
On Wednesday, December 16th, Hits 96 is heading to McKenzie Arena for the UTC Mocs Men’s Basketball game against the South Carolina State Bulldogs! During halftime, we’re taking over the court for a special holiday celebration!
We’ll distribute the teddy bears collected throughout the promotion, and fans will get to toss them onto the basketball court, creating a flurry of teddy bears all in support of the Children’s Hospital at Erlanger!
It’s an unforgettable sight, an incredibly fun tradition, and a wonderful way to bring our community together for a great cause.
Want to be part of the fun? Go to GOMOCS.com and buy your tickets, come cheer on the Mocs, bring a brand new teddy bear, and join us for the Teddy Bear Toss at halftime!
Please note: Teddy bears brought directly to the basketball game are welcome and appreciated, but they will NOT qualify for entries into the Hits 96 Grand Prize giveaway.
