Ferris State University Athletics has announced three different promotions for this upcoming weekend's home action intended to help provide gifts for children in need this holiday season.

The Bulldogs will host a pair of home hockey outings against St. Thomas on Friday and Saturday (Dec. 1-2) evenings along with a men's basketball home matchup versus Grace Christian on Saturday (Dec. 2) at the Ewigleben Sports Complex.

Friday night will be Community Night for Bulldog Hockey as FSU returns to the Ewigleben Ice Arena to open up the weekend series' against St. Thomas. Puck drop is set for 7:07 p.m. (ET). As part of Community Night, fans can get $5 off the price of a regular adult reserved ticket by donating a new toy in person at the ticket office prior to the contest.

Meanwhile, Saturday will be Toy Drive Day for the men's basketball contest, which is slated for a 3 p.m. (ET) start inside Wink Arena. All fans can donate a toy at the door and get in FREE for the men's basketball tilt versus Grace Christian.

Finally, on Saturday night, the Bulldogs will hold their annual Teddy Bear Toss during the weekend hockey finale against St. Thomas. The Saturday matchup starts at 6:07 p.m. (ET) and fans are encouraged to bring a new or slightly used teddy bear to toss on the ice following the first Bulldog goal of the night.

All donated items this weekend will be collected and distributed to a local charity to help provide gifts for children this holiday season.
