Santa’s Helpers Deliver Teddy Bears On Christmas Eve

An anonymous donation to Griffin Hospital was made through the Catholic War Veterans (CWV) Post 1562 and the Renegade Knights Fire Fighter Motor Cycle Club. 

The donor, who wished to remain anonymous, gave several boxes of plush teddy bears to children at Griffin Hospital. 

Members of both organizations took a moment to pose with staff, friends and visitors when the teddy bears were delivered on Christmas Eve.
