Every school day, 46 children or 2 classrooms of students will be diagnosed with cancer. In your school or family you may know a child who is fighting against cancer. Your Bearlanthropy can make a difference to them and other children determined to survive.

You can help us eliminate pediatric cancer and give children with cancer a smile, a laugh, a normal day....like you may have had today and will have tomorrow.

You can raise money and awareness to support Small Miracles, research to end childhood cancer or sell Wear the Bear apparel.
