It Began with a Dream

What can an automobile donation do for others?

In the early nineties there existed a dream—a wish to help children in need.

That hopeful mission became a reality in 1997 when the Teddy Bear Cops™ Program was established—a program wherein teddy bears are sent to fire, police and emergency departments to be carried in official vehicles and given to children who have suffered through a disaster.

Children, who are witness to terrifying realities, may be spared from going into deep shock, and all the emotional damage such shock can cause by simply cuddling a small teddy bear.

Our plan was simple. We sent huge boxes filled with teddy bears to police and fire departments and to emergency service organizations across the country.

The first 100 boxes we sent brought us warm thanks from chiefs, captains and their city and county officials.

When we were able to send out 700 boxes of teddies, thanks to all the car donations, the response was stunning. We were almost overwhelmed, but we knew we had hit upon a vital need in our society.

The response was stunning, as you can see from just some of the letters we have posted here.

Policemen, firefighters and medical techs bombarded us with requests for ...

“more teddies ... more bears!”

We received heartfelt stories. Some detailed how their "little friends" sat in the back seats of police vehicles, waiting to serve a little boy here or a little girl there.

Friends, the need is great. There are more than 5,000 civic organizations in our country that badly need a big box of bears (or more) a month. So please think big when you give...and...ask yourself when was the last time your old car or truck comforted a child. Your car donation can possibly save a child's sanity.
