Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
BEAR GIVERS CREATED THE EMPOWERMENT PROGRAM TO EMPOWER CHILDREN WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS AND OTHER LEARNING DISABILITIES,AND TEACH THEM ABOUT GIVING AND RECEIVING. BEAR GIVERS DONATES TEDDY BEARS TO SCHOOLS SERVING CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS AND THE STUDENTS DECIDE WHO TO GIVE THEM AWAY TO. THIS ENABLES THEM TO EXPERIENCE THE JOY OF GIVING TO OTHERS THEY BELIEVE ARE IN NEED OF COMFORT. AS THESE STUDENTS ARE USUALLY THE RECIPIENTS OF CHARITY,THIS PROGRAM ALSO PROVIDES THEM WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE BACK. THE EMPOWERMENT PROGRAM WILL BE INTRODUCED TO MORE SCHOOLS AND FACILITIES IN FUTURE YEARS.
A NEW PROGRAM WAS CREATED TO EMPOWER ENTREPRENEURS BY PROVIDING RESOURCES TO THOSE CURRENTLY UNDERSERVED, PARTICULARLY WOMEN AND LATER IN LIFE INDIVIDUALS STARTING A BUSINESS. BEAR GIVERS OFFERS THEM THE FREEDOM AND OPPORTUNITY TO HELP ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS.
BEAR GIVERS FACILITATED PROGRAMS AND EVENTS IN WHICH CHILDREN IN HOSPITALS AND OTHER FACILITIES WERE GIVEN TEDDY BEARS. THESE UPLIFTING VISITS BENEFITED BOTH THE GIVERS AND THE RECIPIENTS OF THE TEDDY BEARS IN A HEARTWARMING, POSITIVE EXPERIENCE. THE SICK CHILDREN AND THEIR PARENTS WERE CHEERED AND COMFORTED AND PROVIDED WITH A NEEDED RESPITE AND WELCOME DISTRACTION. BEAR GIVERS PLANS TO VISIT MORE HOSPITALS AND PEDIATRIC FACILITIES IN THE FUTURE, AND TO INVITE CELEBRITIES AND GUESTS TO INTERACT WITH THE YOUNG PATIENTS, AND HELP WITH THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE BEARS.
BEAR GIVERS INTRODUCED THE EMPOWERART PROGRAM TO ENABLE CHILDREN WITH AUTISM RELATED DISORDERS AND OTHER LEARNING DISABILITIES TO DISPLAY AND SELL THEIR ARTWORK. BEAR GIVERS ACCOMPLISHED THIS BY SPONSORING ART SHOWS FOR SCHOOLS SERVING CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS. THESE SHOWS TOOK PLACE IN A PROFESSIONAL SETTING TO ALLOW THE CHILDREN TO FEEL PROUD AND EMPOWERED. THEIR CREATIVITY AND TALENT WAS RECOGNIZED, IMPROVING THEIR SELF-ESTEEM AND SENSE OF PRIDE. THIS WAS FURTHERED BY THE KNOWLEDGE THAT 100% OF THE SALE PROCEEDS OF THEIR ARTWORK WENT DIRECTLY BACK TO THEIR SCHOOL.
