Also, special thanks to all the members who donated a teddy bear at our Holiday Party. Thanks to their generosity we were able to collect 80 bears to be distributed on December 15, 2016 at our 13th Annual Teddy Bear Drive. We are proud to say that in the past twelve years we have distributed over 12,150 Teddy Bears to hospitalized and less fortunate children in the communities that we serve.
