Bringing comfort to children

The Bear Hugs program was created in 2008 to provide huggable teddy bears to abused, neglected or otherwise traumatized children. Our volunteers deliver bears to local area hospital and agencies.

Bear Hugs is 100% staffed by volunteers of Assistance League of Pasadena. Our volunteers distributed over 3,500 huggable bears in 2021-2022. We have delivered over 17,500  bears since inception of our program.
