Hershey Bears: Charity Results
But now the Bears Foundation has released the results of their charitable efforts with the auctions. A solid $120,000 for local charities in the Harrisburg/Hershey area.
"This season, the Hershey Bears hockey club has raised more than $120,000 for local charities and organizations. This result could not have been reached without the support of our fans. The Hershey Entertainment & Resorts Company (HE&R) and the Hershey Bears Hockey Club would like to thank our fans for the caring and generosity they exhibit every year during our jersey auctions," said Ted J. Kleisner, President and CEO of HE&R. "Together, the BEARS and their fans are making a difference in the lives of many in our community."Way to go, Teddy boy.

First off, good on the Bears for supporting the community that supports them, and kudos to the fans for paying so much for these jerseys."Our fans have proven once again they are the very best. Their considerable contribution to various charities through the auctions is outstanding!
