10K Teddy Bears in Ferguson Mo

Donation protected



Let us pay a huge, cute and cuddly tribute to all of our fallen ones. How cool would it be to be to leave home for a afternoon walk, jog, or drive only to be halted by a street completely covered in a record setting amount of teddy bears? Not only would this be an awesome sight it could begin to replace some of the horrific images recently plastered throughout the media. I need your help to make this a reality. All funds donated will go towards the purchase of 10,000 teddy bears, shipping and handling, and of course getting the cute little guys to their final destination in Ferguson Mo.

Hip-Hop Artist- Seneca Da Product      
Weighs In On His Hometown's Tragedy with Music and Memories From The Heart


(New York, NY).........Hip-hop producer/artist Seneca Da Product, with a life time connection to the city of Ferguson, is deeply saddened by what's taking place so close to home and has channeled his grieving into a musical expression.  They say that "music has charms that soothe the savage beast," and it's Seneca's hope that his song, "Teddy Bears," will help soothe some of Ferguson's pain and unrest following the murder by a police officer of 18-year-old Mike Brown. A lyric in his slow, mournful song says "Tie a teddy on the telephone pole, to honor not only Michael Brown, but all those we lost."  Teddy bears, sneakers, posters, flowers and the like have long been a neighborhood way of honoring the fallen in a public manner.

Michael Brown crossed paths with Seneca quite often in Ferguson, Outside of his brothers Kapeli or J Will stores while the rapper was handing out promo items, shooting videos or just hanging out.  Seneca would occasionally share some career and life pointers with the enthusiastic young Mike and his friends.  Locally known as a "gentle giant," Michael Brown was an amateur rapper, under the hip-hop moniker of "Big Mike."

Seneca moved away from St. Louis and his W. Florissant Street ties some time ago, but stayed in touch and aware through various friends and family.  He's closely watching, as is the entire world, the dire circumstances that are unfolding in this Midwestern town that few even knew was on the Missouri map until the fateful day that  Michael Brown Jr. lost his life there.

"This is a powerful record that will help STL get through this trying time, its
about reminiscing on our lost loved ones and keeping the peace in the streets
during this difficult time. I let my PD Boogie D hear it and he loved as well."
