Bear Necessities

One Bear. Triple the Care.

Give the gift of a “bear hug” to someone in need while supporting the purchase of life-saving equipment that government funding doesn’t cover. Lift someone’s spirit by gifting a huggable teddy bear. Alternatively, you can send a cozy sleep sack to a newborn or a plush blanket to keep patients warm and comfortable. These "Bear Necessities" can also be gifted to loved ones on any special occasion.

This Giving Tuesday you can triple your impact! Your gift of a Bear Necessity can bring comfort to patients at MSH. Until Thursday, December 4, when you buy one bear, two patients will also receive a bear hug. Thanks to the generosity of A Friend of MSH Foundation, all gifts will be triple matched, up to a total of $100,000. Take advantage of this incredible opportunity and donate today and help to spread comfort and care where it’s needed most.
