Help us raise funds to send Cuddle Bear books and stuffed bears to the kids at Penn State Children's Hospital! These books and bears not only bring comfort to the hundreds of kids seen at Penn State Hershey Children's, but they also help the caregivers bond with their patients. Every $25 will send one book and one bear to the hospital, & every 50$ will send 3 sets of bears/books thanks to PaperPie matching 50% of all donations.
In addition, in honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, a portion of your donation goes to the Scott Carter Foundation. This foundation was started in 1995 by the parents of Scott Carter, a 13 year old boy who died from cancer in 1993. Their mission is to send funds to research projects aimed DIRECTLY at curing pediatric cancer. To this day, pediatric cancer research is one of the least funded cancers, despite the fact that pediatric cancers are the leading cause of disease death in children under the age of 12. Let's do our small part to help turn the tide.
This fundraiser will be open through September 29. If you have any questions at all please don't hesitate to email me at SummersBookNook@gmail.com or text me at (717) 675-4127. Any businesses wanting to donate/sponsor sets will have their name included on a thank you sign during drop off at the Children's Hospital. Your donation is tax deductible.
I thank you for supporting Penn State Childrens Hospital and Pediatric Cancer Research!
