Fans are asked to bring donations to the game, including stuffed animals, toques, gloves and socks. Once the Petes score their first goal, donations can be thrown onto the ice.

Chemong Home Hardware Building Centre will collect and count them and donate them to Move 99.7 and Pure Country 105's Christmas Toy Drive, which is in support of the Salvation Army’s Annual Christmas Appeal.

Participating fans are asked to put their donations into a clear plastic bag to prevent them from being damaged on the ice.

Rexall will sell stuffed bears in the concourse of the PMC before the game for $10.

Net proceeds from each bear sold will support the Rexall Care Network, a charitable organization supporting unpaid caregivers across Canada. Rexall will provide a $5 Rexall gift card to anyone who purchases a bear at the game. Fans who can not attend the game but wish to donate can drop off their donations at the Petes Store before the game.
