FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Books, bears and beers, oh my! It seems like an unlikely trio, but it's real.

The donation will go toward purchasing a book and matching stuffed animal. It's all part of the third annual Holiday Book and Bear Drive.
Retired Miami Dolphins and Miami Hurricanes offensive lineman Vernon Carey teamed up with Royal Pig Pub to distribute the books to children at schools and organizations in Fort Lauderdale's Sistrunk neighborhood.
Royal Pig Pub is located at 350 E. Las Olas Blvd.
