Since 2017, Buddy the Elf has made an annual trip to deliver teddy bears at Prisma Children's Hospital. Every child gets one, as do many siblings!
Over the years, the project has grown and now includes deliveries to:
- Shriner's Hospital for Children
- Serenity Place (part of the Family Effect)
- Epworth Children's Home (for the first time in 2025)
- Comfort bears delivered to Travelers Rest Police Department, Travelers Rest Fire Department, Tigerville Fire Department, and the Duncan Chapel Fire Department.
In 2025, we will be giving away our 2000th bear!
All teddy bears are new, high-quality, Gund teddy bears.
