Teddy Bear Picnic 2026

Wonder Bear and Spider Bear were joined by friends old and new as Business With A Heart celebrated its inaugural Teddy Bear Picnic on Saturday, February 14.

The day was full of spirit and fun that even the wet weather couldn’t dampen. Held within the Concord Club, we saw generations come together to raise awareness for sick children and adults with medical conditions.

With the help of our volunteers, all enjoyed playing Pin the Heart on the Bear and dancing along to the Wiggles beside our bear mascots.

We had great attendance from our Heart Community – our friends, families, local community members, and business partners – who enjoyed making bears for a beneficiary (or themselves), and snapping selfies with our Special Bear Friends.

With stories shared and connections made, our event was nothing short of a success.

Special appreciation goes to our board director, Rose Cantali, for providing the community with greater insight into our mission and the support we give to our beneficiaries.

“Small acts of kindness can create enormous ripples of hope”, she said. “One teddy bear. One child. One moment of comfort. That is where change begins.”

Thank you to all who made this very first Teddy Bear Picnic a success, and who support our mission to bring joy, comfort, and hope to those adults and children who need it most.
