'Teddy Bear Patrol:' Bartell Drugs collects 'bear hugs' for children, now through March 30
February 25, 2013 · 1:20 PM
Bartell Drugs is helping to give "bear hugs" to children in stressful or traumatic situations as the Puget Sound area drugstore chain teams up again with Warm 106.9 FM in the annual "Teddy Bear Patrol" campaign, now through March 30.
All 58 Bartell Drugs locations, including ones in Bothell and just outside of Kenmore in the Inglewood neighborhood of Kirkland, are designated locations for teddy bear donations.
The Bothell stores is located at 22833 Bothell-Everett Highway and the Inglemoor store is located at 14130 Juanita Dr. N.E in Kirkland.
The annual drive puts teddy bears in the hands of community police departments, hospitals and emergency response teams so they may give bears to children involved in challenging situations.
Over 74,000 bears have been collected over this past several years for this tremendous cause.
Donation options at Bartell Drugs stores in King, Snohomish and Pierce counties include:
• Purchase an official "Bartell Bear" for $7 and Bartell Drugs will donate a second bear to the campaign
• Donate a new or gently used bear, under 12 inches
