Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation: Project Holiday

We are very excited to offer you a wonderful opportunity to support our Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation families through our 2015 Project Holiday Programs. We understand the holiday season can be stressful, particularly with a child in treatment for cancer.

SPONSOR A TBCF FAMILY FOR PROJECT CHRISTMAS

We selected 26 low-moderate income families with a child currently in treatment or newly diagnosed who are not able to financially and emotionally provide Christmas this year because of their new circumstances. These sponsorships allow each child in treatment and their siblings to choose exactly what they want from Santa (gifts valued at $100 and below). We give you their wish lists, and you play Santa by shopping for their gifts. Wrapped

gifts, stuffed stockings, Christmas trees and other little extras will be personally delivered by our very own Holiday

Elves to each childs home.

Project Christmas Individual Sponsorship Opportunities (can be made separately)

• Gift Sponsorships: $100 gift per child in family
