Look For Teddy Bear Boxes Around Town!

Newtown-Bound Bears & Beyond continues to honor the memory of the Newtown angels as they continue to deliver stuffed animals to places where children are suffering or in need of comfort..

Newtown Bound Bears & Beyond has kicked off their second donation drive and are very excited to have several locations where we have been given space to leave a donation box and a sign.  After delivering over 1,000 brand new stuffed animals to 2 Ronald McDonald Houses, Yale New Haven's Smilow Cancer Hospital, CT Children's Medical Center, Family & Children's Aid, Camp Sunshine and the New Haven FD, we are now prepping to deliver to even more locations where we can help to bring smiles to the faces of kids in need of a little extra comfort...

If you would like to donate a bear (or several) please feel free to leave them in one of our donation boxes, located at:

Karate America, Greenwood Avenue

We are also still gladly accepting drop-offs at our homes or at mutual meeting locations!  So please consider donating some brand new stuffed animals to honor the memory of the Newtown children by sharing the stuffed animals with children in need!  If you think your place of business might be interested in doing a larger donation, we will gladly provide you with all of the necessary information necessary to do so.

As always, God Bless every single person who has shared this experience with us thus far.  We have been so fortunate to have met many wonderful, generous people near and far, and hope to meet even more!!

Our next 'public appearance' will be the weekend of April 20-21st at the St. Mary's tag sale!  Please come and visit our table!  We will have ribbons, handmade bracelets, and stickers for the kids!!
