Teddy Bears On Call...Our Bears Change Lives

We donate our soft cuddly teddy bears to hospital emergency departments to help staff provide a sense of comfort and security to their traumatized and distraught pediatric patients.

The concept is simple. Via an ongoing program organized and managed by TBOC volunteers within a community, the funds required to purchase quantities of our teddy bears are continuously raised. These loveable teddies are then donated to local hospital emergency departments for staff, at their discretion, to give to their traumatized, distraught pediatric patients.

There is never a charge to the hospitals or parents for the bears, and

the children get to take their teddy home.

We are an organization made up of passionate, like-minded volunteers driven to alleviate the fear and distress experienced by traumatized children receiving emergency medical treatment.

We modeled our program after the immensely successful not-for-profit “Teddies for Loving Care Appeal Charity (TLC),” founded in 2001 by Freemasons in Essex, England. This program has been so well received throughout the U.K. by hospitals, patients, and parents that it has given out over 2.5 million teddies to date.
