May 2015 - Teddy bears were gifted to children in BrightPoint's Headstart Programs. Some of the happy youngsters are pictured above with their new friends.

(above) High School Kids from Lutheran High helped deliver over 200 teddy bears to CANI (including 36 brand new Build-a-Bears that were donated to our den). We gifted over $10,000 worth of new and gently loved teddy bears to CANI during the year.

(Below) This really big teddy bear was donated in April 2012 to CANI for their Head Start program. He will be a teddy friend in a classroom for pre-school children.
