Get a Hug, Give a Hug!

Send a bear to yourself or a loved one, or sponsor a bear for a child with a brain tumor diagnosis- or BOTH! There are thousands of survivors in our family who would love to receive a teddy bear from you! Sponsoring a Hug means a child with a brain tumor diagnosis will receive a soft, cuddly teddy bear from YOU! If there is a special survivor that you would like to send one too, please include their name and address so we can ship it to them. We’ll include a personalized message of your choice for each hug.
