It is Black Friday and the Kentucky State Police hopes shoppers will include a Trooper Teddy Bear on their Christmas list this year. The bears went on sale Thanksgiving night and will sell for $15 over the holiday weekend. Proceeds from the sale benefit the Trooper Teddy Project, which provides teddy bears to children in traumatic situations such as a car crash, exposure to drugs, or domestic abuse cases, which frequently result in the arrest of a parent.
For those interested in purchasing a bear or making a tax-deductible contribution to the project, citizens can access the KSP website at kentuckystatepolice.org/trooper-teddy.
