Teddy Bear Day 2020 in changed form

Childhood favorite, a confidant of many secrets, the teddy bear, celebrates its holiday every year on November 25. On this occasion, the Mam Marzenie Foundation is organizing for the seventh time a celebration of this special day for its pupils. Due to the epidemiological situation, Teddy Bear Day will take a slightly different shape this year. One thing will remain unchanged – the joy of the youngest. For seven years, volunteers of the Mam Marzenie Foundation have been organizing collections of stuffed animals, toys, games, and art supplies that go to young patients. Due to the epidemiological situation, this year's collection will be carried out according to slightly different rules than before.

"The coronavirus caused not only the closure of many cultural institutions and restaurants but also the suspension of visits to hospitals. Children for whom the mere stay away from home, in the hospital, is an extremely difficult experience, found themselves in an even more difficult situation, as visiting hospitals during pandemics are difficult. Therefore, after consulting with friendly hospitals, we decided to organize a Teddy Bear Day this year, which in this situation is even more important: via the portal zrzutka.pl or to the cans we provide. For the funds collected in this way, we will buy toys or art supplies in the number adapted to the needs and capabilities of a given hospital. After quarantine, these items will go to the wards," Aleksandra Bieg, press spokesman of the Mam Marzenie Foundation, said.

To participate in the fundraising event, please contact the campaign coordinator (the e-mail address and the fundraising address are provided below). In response, those willing to support the campaign will receive a request to fill in a short application questionnaire, in which the selected form of financial support should be declared (online or stationary). The Foundation will also provide the necessary information and materials (posters, cans) to carry out the campaign. The action lasts until November 25.
