Teddy Bear patrol - one more day to give bear hugs

Bartell Drugs is helping to give "bear hugs" to children in need by being designated locations for teddy bear donations for the Annual Warm 106.9 FM Teddy Bear Patrol campaign, March 1 - 31.

Designed to help bridge the communication gap between a frightened child and an adult stranger, the program puts a teddy bear in the hands of community police departments, hospitals and emergency response teams so they may give the bear to a child involved in a stressful situation.

You can help by purchasing the Bartell Teddy Bear Patrol Bear for $7.00 and Bartell Drugs will donate a second bear to the campaign

You can make a monetary donation towards the purchase of a bear.

You can donate a new bear, 12" and under.

The campaign ends on Wednesday, March 31.

Shoreline Bartells is at Gateway Plaza, N 185th & Aurora.
