About Us!
Bear Givers is dedicated to bringing joy to the lives of children in need with a variety of Programs
Through hospital visits and collaborative school education programs, Bear Givers touches the lives of children and their families across the country and around the world with a personal visit, handwritten note, and the gift of a soft, cuddly teddy bear.
Bear Givers also offers programs that enable these children to become givers and experience the thrill and pride of bringing happiness to others.
As the need for teddy bears grew, we continued to expand and new programs were created. We realized that it was not only children that were cheered up by a teddy bear, but that senior citizens, adults undergoing cancer treatment, families in shelters, recent immigrants, and even our troops were completely uplifted by these caring and thoughtful gifts.
Over the years there have been multiple occasions where we ourselves have experienced the joy of giving and felt so moved by the heartwarming responses to our Programs and our teddy bears.
Bear Givers strives to find new and different ways to make life more Bear-able.
“Children from the school who give one of these bears away also get to keep one for themselves. It is a great way for students to feel good about making a difference in someone’s life.”
