Gragg, Inc. Brings Teddys for Tots to Southeast Arkansas

Southeast Arkansas, December 2016– Gragg, Incorporated., whose goal is to help Southeast Arkansas citizens by doing a common good, brought Teddys for Tots to Southeast Arkansas over the Christmas Season. This was a project that was designed to bring joy to the smallest members of the Southeast Arkansas population, the toddlers.

Chris Gragg, Founder - TE for the Buffalo Bills and Former Arkansas Razorback TE (2008-12) and Warren Lumberjack Graduate (2008), stated “I have always liked helping people, but I also like to be different.  I know what it is like to be looked over (forgotten) during this time of year, so I really like helping the people most forget.  This year Teddys For Tots were not just given out to young children in general, but to children in hospitals around Southeast Arkansas.  Dumas, McGehee, Monticello, Warren and Pine Bluff hospitals received Teddys for Tots to help provide comfort to the children that came through or have to remain in the hospital over the holidays.

Each area hospital was presented with Teddy Bears in gift bags from Gragg, Inc.  The hospitals used their discretion as to how the distribution of the Teddy Bears would be handled.

Some hospitals were planning to provide them to children that come through the Emergency Room. Others were going to provide them to children that were actually in the hospital on Christmas, or that may have to have lab work or X-rays performed during the season.
