Many thanks to all who donated over 120 (and counting) PrayerBears for Cook Children’s Hospital! What a blessing to share these with little ones receiving medical care.

From the Cook Children’s Hospital website: The PrayerBear Program began in 1997 as a way for local faith communities and organizations to support Cook Children's patients and families through prayer. Over the last 25 years the program has continued to grow and evolve. On average, over 300 bears are delivered to patients across the Medical Center each week!
The PrayerBear Program aims to give the gift of a soft, huggable PrayerBear and a copy of the book PrayerBear's Big Adventure to every child spending the night in our hospital.
All PrayerBears are donated or funded by generous groups and individuals, including faith communities, schools, community groups, clubs, companies, and not-for-profit groups.
Fun fact: a significant portion of the bear donations we receive come from former Cook Children's patients and families who received a PrayerBear during their time here!

Contact our Interfaith Ministry Specialist via email at PrayerBear@cookchildrens.org or by phone 682-885-7218 if you or your organization are interested in donating new teddy bears.
