Wrestling fans giving bear hugs to kids: MMWA Wrestling holds teddy bear drive
Posted by flairwhoooooo on February 5, 2015
ST. LOUIS, Mo. (February 4, 2015) – Teddy bears are a universal symbol of childhood and comfort. On many a night, children toddle off to bed with their favorite bear in their arms.
Bears and other stuffed animals give comfort to children in traumatic situations as well. No one knows this better than the officers of the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department. Answering domestic calls involving children, these officers witness firsthand the trauma inflicted on the young and innocent. Being able to pull out a lovable, huggable stuffed animal in a child’s arms and offer a little comfort is often times is helpful in these situations.
That’s where the Mid-Missouri Wrestling Alliance (MMWA) and their fans come into the picture. Understanding the need for comforting these children, the MMWA is organizing a stuffed animal drive using an existing feud between two wrestlers: Sean Orleans and Jacko the Clown. Inspired by Orleans’ fear of clowns, MMWA organizers requested fans donate teddy bears and other stuffed animals to “help Sean sleep at night.”
The stuffed animals will be donated to the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department to be used in calls involving children.
