Teddy Bears with Love is Celebrating its 26th Year!

Teddy Bears with Love

In December of 1999, the Office of Alumni Relations at 天美传媒视频无限制观看 kicked off what would come to be known as the annual “Teddy Bears with Love” Drive. Today, our Student Alumni Association continues to proudly spearhead this effort!

Thanks to the generosity of thousands of alumni, families, students, employees, and friends of 天美传媒视频无限制观看, have been donated nearly 27,000 teddy bears (and stuffed animals) to dozens of children’s hospitals and charities not only in Connecticut, but across the country.

Last year, we celebrated the 25th Anniversary of this award-winning program. We are thrilled to announce that we commemorated the milestone with our most successful collection to date. A whopping 1,912 teddy bears and stuffed animals were donated to charities in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Ohio, California, and Washington DC. As we embark on our 26th Anniversary collection, we again, count on you and your generosity to help us provide "bear hugs" to as many children as possible.
