FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TEDDY BEAR DRIVE A SUCCESS

A teddy bear drive sponsored by the Dean's Office of the Texas Wesleyan School of Arts and Sciences was a big success - 249 bears and other cuddly toys were collected. The Fort Worth Police Department uses the stuffed animals with children in crisis situations.

Thank you to all Texas Wesleyan students, faculty, staff, administrators, and members of Polytechnic United Methodist Church who donated new teddy bears and other stuffed toys.
