The 16th Annual Bear Fair will be November 1-30, 2012.
- Groups are welcome to participate - great for all ages! We involve girl scouts and boy scouts, church groups, schools and businesses.
- The Bear Fair is run by a student committee based out of the Office of Service-Learning and Volunteer Programs.Teddy bears donated to the Bear Fair go to children in hospitals and shelters during the holiday season. PLEASE DONATE NEW TEDDY BEARS - SOFT AND CUDDLY. At least 6 inches tall and sizes 8 inches to 15 inches are very popular with the children and hospitals/shelters.
- It is easy. You arrange your own collection during the month of November and then bring them to our office or to one of the area drop off locations that will be posted when the event is underway.
- If your group would like to participate please email Maggie Tripp. We will list you on this webiste and provide you with resources.
- Whether you collect 10 or 100 or more it all adds up to help children who really need a teddy bear to hug.
More than 45,000 teddy bears have been given away in the 14 years of the Bear Fair!
Help Us, Help Kids!
