We began in 2008 by gifting 450 bears to a few fire and police departments. Last year we gave almost 40,000 stuffed animals. In the 10 years since we began we have been able to gift over 100,000. We would need 184,000 per year for the seven hospitals and 192 agencies we currently serve. We are 100% donation and volunteer run. We are here to try and bring comfort to those in need, wherever they may be.
