Joe Joe Bear Foundation

Joe Joe Bear Foundation is a non-profit organization based in Katy, Texas, with 5 to 9 employees. The foundation focuses on collecting and delivering new teddy bears to children in local hospitals who are battling cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. Their mission is to provide comfort to these children, who may be scared and lonely, especially when their families cannot be with them constantly. The foundation emphasizes that all bears must be new due to the vulnerable immune systems of these children. Each bear is tagged as a "Joe Joe Bear" and meticulously inspected before being distributed. Joe Joe Bear Foundation's unique relationship with a wholesale supplier enables them to purchase new bears for as low as $5 each. They encourage donations through their website and are happy to accept new bear donations directly. The foundation also assists organizations in setting up bear drives and arranging for the collection of donated bears. To learn more or make a donation, visit joejoebear.org.
