Thank you to our wonderful supporters of this year’s A Bear Affair.

Thank you for celebrating 25 years of Bear Cottage with us. The funds raised will directly support Bear Cottage's vital work, providing comfort, care, and precious moments for children with life-limiting conditions and their families.

For 25 years, Bear Cottage has been a home away from home for those facing some of life's most challenging circumstances, and your support helps ensure this extraordinary care can continue for many years to come.
