Penn State Schuylkill Commission for Women launched their “donate a teddy bear and your heart” project this month. This is the fourth year the group is sponsoring this project. Individuals donate $10 to sponsor a teddy bear and personalize it with a tag. At the end of the campaign, the bears are delivered to the Children’s Hospital at Penn State Hershey Medical Center. Children who are patients in the Emergency Room, Pediatric Unit, or the Hematology and Oncology Unit will receive a teddy bear. All proceeds from the project are donated to Penn State Schuylkill THON to aid in the fight against pediatric cancer.
For additional information or to sponsor a bear, contact Barbara Kaunas at 570-385-6130.
