The Theodore Roosevelt Association started the Teddy Bears for Kids Program in 1986 with one goal – let’s help make sick children smile and feel safe. "... it is most appropriate that Teddy Bears be given to children in the name of TR, the "Father of the Teddy Bear," in the city where he was born, and throughout the nation." As the program has expanded accross the nation, the TRA looks to members and friends for funds to sustain this program this year and in the years to come. The Association, a national historic organization chartered by an Act of Congress in 1920, is dedicated to keeping alive the legacy of our nation's 26th President. What a wonderful way to carry forward TR’s name and his connection to the Teddy Bear! |
