For the past five years, every Sunday home game for the Twins has featured a Gillette patient scoring the first honorary run of the game. Many things have changed through the years, but the one constant has been the presence of T.C. Bear. Though one should always be wary of approaching a bear in the wild, T.C. has been nothing other than a purveyor of joy for countless Gillette patients and their families.
“I recently asked T.C. about what his interactions with Gillette families meant to him personally,” says Alexa Bartels, Manager of Partnership Activation for the Twins. “Naturally, he didn’t say anything because he’s a bear. But actions speak louder than words and you can tell that those moments are very special and quite meaningful for him.”
