“Teddy Bear Run”

To Support the Shriner’s Children Hospital

June 11, 12 & 13, 2010

Billings , Montana to Spokane , Washington

“Riding to Make a Child’s Tomorrow Better and Brighter”

We need your help and the help of the community to put a smile on the face of a small child and make their day just a little brighter.

GWRRA is a non-profit group of motorcycle enthusiasts from Billings , Montana .  Our Goldwing Chapters support charities that help children because “children are our future”.  One of the charities we support is the Shriner’s Children Hospital in Spokane , Washington .  Children from infancy to age 18 from Montana , Idaho and the surrounding area have benefited from work done at the Shriner’s Children Hospital . 

Admission to the hospital is based on medical need,

and ALL services are FREE to all patients.

Upon admission to the hospital for surgery or tests, each child is given a “Teddy Bear” to love.  Teenagers receiving treatment have a special “Teen Room” where they can gather with their peers to play board games, listen to music or just visit.  When a young child or teen leaves the hospital, it is usually in a wheelchair or on crutches and they are given backpacks, fanny packs and fingerless gloves to help them move about more easily.  But…sometimes these needed items are not there.

This is why we need your help….

We are going out into the community to ask for donations to take to the hospital on the “Teddy Bear Run”.  Do you have any items you could donate??  Some Christmas or Valentine’s Day stuffed animals that did not sell??  Do you have backpacks, fanny packs, fingerless gloves, CD’s, etc. that we could purchase at a discount?? 

Please help to make the annual Teddy Bear Run a success and

PUT A SMILE ON A CHILD’S FACE

There is no better reward on this earth. 

Just a Few of the Items Needed:

New stuffed animals of all sizes                     Glitter Nail polish

These are just a few of the items needed.  Use your imagination…

What could a child use while confined to a wheelchair, in a bed, or on crutches??

In past years, our Chapter has been able to provide thousands of dollars worth of needed items to the hospital for the children.  We were able to purchase these much needed items through donations, grants and barbeques held to obtain funds for the Teddy Bear Run. 

The demand for phone cards, backpacks, fanny packs and bags that will fit on the back of wheelchairs are very high.  In years past within a very short time from our visit, the hospital was out of backpacks.

Please help us with a donation….
