In order to fill these needs, the Potomac Valley Den needs the support of the community. All are welcome to join in this effort. Money to purchase bears comes from raffles, auctions, individual donations, and commercial sponsors. The Potomac Valley den also supplies stuffed animals to organizations which care for the lonely, forgotten and elderly adults. We provide new bears to places like nursing homes and hospices, and we also accept donations of stuffed animals and toys in good condition to be distributed.
All donations are tax deductible.
Police officers, medical and fire personnel in our area find the bears to be valuable tools when dealing with children their work. Thanks to the work of our den, Teddy Bears are becoming standard equipment in emergency vehicles in our area. But there is still a huge need to be filled, and members are needed to help. Members of the Potomac Valley Den are people who understand the power of the Teddy Bear. Portions of this page are Good Bears of the World, International, and appear here with their permission.
