(Mahwah) – Dr. William Sanborn Pfeiffer, interim president of Ramapo College of New Jersey, poses with stuffed bears generously donated by faculty and staff at the College. The president’s office coordinated the collection of new stuffed bears and other stuffed animals for Bear Hugs for the Holidays, a program administered by The Record and Herald News.

The College collected just over 100 stuffed animals. In addition, more than $800 in cash donations will be used by the Bear Hugs Foundation to purchase bears. The stuffed animals will be distributed to hospital-bound patients of all ages, underprivileged children in community day-care centers, children of military personnel who are serving abroad and troops abroad who use smaller bears to help befriend local children.

The campus wide holiday drive included members of the president’s cabinet. In lieu of gifts to each other, they made contributions of checks or stuffed bears to Bear Hugs for the Holidays.
