JoeJoe
Bear Foundation
This
is a charity started by The Joe Joe Bear Foundation was created in memory of
Joseph David Ordaz who passed away on March 10, 2009 from Acute Lymphocytic
Leukemia. They collect new teddy bears for children with cancer and other life
threatening illnesses and then deliver them to local hospitals. These bears
are for the children to hold when they are scared and lonely since their
families may not be able to be with them 24/7.
All of our bears need to be new due to the fact that these
children may have weakened or no immune systems as a result of the treatment
or from their illness itself.
Bubba's Bears
This
is a charity started by Kathleen Evertsen, in memory of her son Alexander, who
died on March 16, 2006 of Tetralogy of Fallot with Pulmonary Atresia.
Alex was only 6 1/2 weeks old. Their mission is to provide teddy bears
(through donations) to every child undergoing heart surgery; and/or, to the
parents or siblings of the child as comfort.

Constable
Teddy - (aka Bears On Board)
"The Constable Teddy
Program's goal is to have a bear (and/or children's books) in the back of
every Constable's patrol car. These bears will be offered to children during
situations of domestic violence, car accidents and other similar situations.
For a child, these bears will hopefully give them something to hold onto in
those times of emotional crisis."
This program is based
in Louisiana and run by Pamela Speight. To read more about this charity and to
