A few brave clients and staff took on the Spokane Arena this Saturday for the Spokane Chiefs’ annual Teddy Bear Toss 🧸🏒

The mission?
✅ Watch hockey
✅ Cheer loudly
✅ Launch an ungodly amount of teddy bears onto the ice after the first goal

The result?
PURE. JOY. And a rink full of flying fluff.

Huge thank you to the Spokane Chiefs for letting our disabled community absolutely invade the arena for the night—we had a blast and promise (mostly) to behave next time 😄
