Lyon College Furry Frenzy Toy Toss
Lyon College invites the Batesville community to its Furry Frenzy Toy Toss on Tuesday, November 17, during the Lyon College Scots women’s basketball game against Hendrix College at Becknell Gymnasium. Tipoff is at 5:30 p.m.
Bring a new stuffed animal and get into the game free. When the Scots score their first point, fans toss their stuffed animals onto the court. All toys go to the Rotary Club of Batesville’s Angel Tree program to help local children at Christmas.
The event is organized by the Lyon College Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. Lyon athletic teams and Greek Life organizations are also competing to see who can collect the most stuffed animals.
“This is one of our favorite service traditions at Lyon because it brings so much joy to the campus and to the children who receive the toys,” said Paeton Tucker, SAAC adviser and Senior Woman Administrator.
