EndZone Comfort — Be the Change

Annual Program

Teddy Bear Drive

Each winter, EndZone Comfort runs a student-supported teddy bear drive. The program gives younger students and school communities another approachable way to serve and support our broader mission.

Bringing comfort to younger patients

The teddy bear drive offers an accessible entry point for elementary and middle school students to participate in service. Every bear collected brings a moment of comfort to a child receiving care at Wolfson Children's Hospital.

Drive Season

The teddy bear drive takes place each winter, with an annual cutoff of February 1.

All Sizes Accepted

All sizes of teddy bears are accepted — from small cuddly bears to large plush companions.

Brand-New with Tags

All bears must be brand new with tags. Items are intended for medically vulnerable children and teens.

Recipient

Wolfson Children's Hospital receives the bears, bringing comfort to younger patients.
