How you can support Bear Giving Day

2026-08-05

To celebrate Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and National Teddy Bear Day, Bear Giving Day is coming September 9. 

Help us reach our goal of donating 300 teddy bears to children in hospitals across Australia, bringing comfort when they need it most and funding the vital childhood cancer research needed to create better outcomes.  

Why September 9?  

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and September 9 is National Teddy Bear Day - the perfect moment to bring comfort and hope to children when they need it most.  

Bringing double the comfort

Thanks to our generous matching partner Smartways Logistics, your impact will go even further this Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. For every bear donated, Smartways Logistics will match your gift, sending an additional bear to hospital and funding more childhood cancer research. 


A simple act can mean so much to a child in hospital. This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, your gift can have double the impact as we deliver comfort to children in hospital while helping fund the childhood cancer research that gives families hope for the future. 

Give comfort. Create hope. Donate a bear here
