Bear Necessities Pediatric Cancer Foundation
A little more on the Internship I will begin this Winter: It was founded in 1993 prior to the death of Barrett “Bear” Kuppa who battled cancer for 8 years. Kathleen A. Casey, his mother, founded Bear Necessities and named it after her son.
Bear Necessities is a national non-profit organization “…dedicated to eliminate pediatric cancer and to provide hope and support to those who are touched by it.”
Their missions is carried out through two unique areas which include the Bear Hugs Program (one on one contact with children with pediatric cancer) and the Bear Discoveries Program (medical research awards granted for further research on pediatric cancer).
How can YOU be involved?
