Big Hero, Little Hero®
Buy One, Donate One to First
Responders
Founded in 2002, the Big Hero, Little
Hero® Program is one of our oldest and
most loved Bears That Care. For every
Little Hero Bear® purchased, we donate
another Little Hero Bear to a first
responder unit so that children can have a
bear hug when they need it most—during
crisis situations. To date, we have donated
more than 15,000 bears to first responder
units throughout the United States.
Limb Loss & Limb
Difference Bear SSN-792 Dewey Bear
The Amputee Coalition USS Vermont Commissioning
Committee
We are constantly thinking about how
our bears can touch more hearts and
spread more love. The result? The newest
members of the Bears That Care program
are our Limb Loss & Limb Difference
bears. Working closely with the Amputee
Coalition, we designed these bears to bring
comfort, joy, and love. Limb Loss & Limb
Difference bears also offer direct support
to the Amputee Coalition, as 20 percent
of every sale is donated directly to this
important organization. The Vermont (SSN-792) Commissioning
Committee is proud to collaborate with the
Vermont Teddy Bear Company to create
limited-edition bears marking the
acceptance of the USS Vermont—the
newest Virginia-class fast attack
submarine—into the U.S. Navy! A
portion of profits helps pay for the
traditional events, activities, and gifts
associated with the commissioning, which
marks the beginning of Vermont’s active
service.
