2023 Annual Inclusion Weekend

The 2023 Bear Givers Annual Inclusion Weekend was a tremendous success!

Our wonderful weekend kicked off with a beautiful Shabbat Dinner on the terrace of The Hampton Synagogue. We were delighted to honor Bear Givers partner Karen Feldman with a special award recognizing her efforts in getting the Leading With Kindness initiative off the ground.

Guests took part in a Kindness Project where they decorated teddy bears donated by Bear Givers and wrote uplifting messages in notecards. These bears will go to Camp Kaylie, a summer camp inclusive of typical children together with children with disabilities. The group's collective efforts truly symbolized the power of love and inclusion.

We sincerely thank all who came and supported for making this a weekend filled with unity, purpose, compassion, and empathy.
