Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Bear Givers is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing joy to the lives of children and adults with the symbolic gift of a loveable Teddy Bear. Bear Givers believes that the altruism of some can exponentially affect the lives of many. Its programs facilitate an environment where "givers" are "empowered" by bringing joy to others and by enabling young people with special needs to feel the satisfaction of being able to give back to others. Bear Givers facilitates programs in which children, celebrities, and other adults give Teddy Bears to,and positively interact with, sick, disabled, and other disadvantaged children, with the objective of cheering and comforting the recipients of the gifts. These visits take place in hospitals, schools for special children, orphanages, and other similar facilities.
