How To Help

The Bear Club

You are cordially invited to become a member of the Bear Club, the cornerstone of philanthropic support for the Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation. Your generous contribution will provide the funds needed to carry out the Foundation's mission of providing financial assistance to families with a child diagnosed with cancer.

The Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation works to ensure that children with cancer receive the undivided attention of their parents during the treatment and recovery process through financial aid and other helpful services. We support our families by paying crucial bills (rent, mortgage, utilities) so a parent can be by their child's bedside. Additional services include: parent support groups, reading to children in the hospital, hotel accommodations, and family fun days - even assistance with funeral costs. Your generous support makes all this possible for an increasing number of families facing a cancer diagnosis each year.

Please help our children and families by becoming a charter member of The Bear Club!
