Vermont Business Magazine The Vermont Teddy Bear Company is donating over 200 Little Hero Bears at this weekend’s Shelburne Volunteer Fire Department 75th Anniversary celebration. “Our Little Hero Bear program has been in place for over 10 years and is our way of helping first responders across the nation,” says Vermont Teddy Bear Company CEO Bill Shouldice. “It is a unique program and one that we are proud to share with the Shelburne Volunteer Fire Department for their 75th anniversary.”
The Little Hero Bear program helps children in crisis during emergency events. Every time a Little Hero Bear is purchased, Vermont Teddy Bear donates a second Little Hero Bear to a police department, fire department or rescue squad. These donations ensure that kids get the comfort they need when they need it most: during crisis situations. To date, over 15,000 Little Hero Bears have been donated to first responder units across the country.
Donations will occur at the anniversary event, this Saturday, August 27th. Little Hero Bears will be distributed to the Shelburne fire station as well as other participating fire stations and first-responder units.
“Our country’s first responders go above and beyond every day, and we appreciate the opportunity to support them in their life-saving efforts,” says Shouldice.
