Bears That Care

Little Hero® Bear
Every time a Little Hero Bear is purchased or the code BEAHERO is entered at checkout, we donate a second one to a first-responder unit, a senior living facility, or a hospital. This ensures that people of all ages get a Bear hug when they need it most.

Helping people facing cancer takes more than medicine. This is why Vermont Teddy Bear has partnered with the American Cancer Society on our 15" Hope Bear. Our Hope Bear not only gives the best hugs but takes the extra step of providing support and raising awareness for breast cancer recovery.

Mascot, hug deliverer and fundraiser all in one! Also known as Fezzy, our Love to the rescue® Bear helps raise awareness for all 22 non-profit Shriners Hospitals for Children. Plus, each time Fezzy is purchased, 20% of the proceeds are donated directly to Shriners.

Working closely with the Amputee Coalition, we designed the Limb Loss, Limb Difference Bear to bring comfort, joy and love. We are proud to say that now we have Teddy Bears for everybody and every body. 20% of proceeds are donated to the Amputee Coalition.

Co-founded by Cyndi Lauper, True Colors United works nationally to end homelessness among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth. 20% of proceeds are donated to the True Colors United.

The Spark Kindness Bear was created in partnership with the Jennifer Riordan Foundation, established to honor the life and legacy of Jennifer Riordan. This Bear's mission is to inspire compassion and to remind all who hold it to always be kind, loving, caring and sharing.

As we all face new challenges with the unfolding health care crisis, the Bear crew at the Vermont Teddy Bear asked ourselves how we could help. We decided to put new Bear creation on hold--don’t worry, we still have plenty of cuddly Bears available, and to focus on making masks to support community workers.
