About Us
Our mission is simple, but very worthwhile—
we “help bring a smile to a child's face.”
We provide plush, brown, 10-inch teddy bears
to the children and organizations we serve.
Each bear arrives wearing our official “Someone Loves You” t-shirt.
Our special teddy bears are given to provide
love, friendship, and to help cheer up children
in their time of need. Our teddy bears are
purchased new and donated with no
financial restitution expected.
This nation-wide program provides teddy
bears to hospitals, burn camps, firehouses, shelters, social
workers, child advocates, public safety
agencies, and not-for-profit organizations.
All teddy bears donated by "Teddy Bears That Care Program" are
purchased by our program and donated with no financial restitution expected
in return. The Teddy Bears That Cares Program is funded solely through
donations,sponsorship and fundraising events.
Over 26,000 teddy bears of our Someone Loves You teddy bears have been distributed throughout 26 states and Canada since 2001.
