Partners & Donors
Our work would not be possible without the community of individuals and organizations who invest in our mission, and we are proud to recognize their contributions.
Bear Necessities gratefully acknowledges the individuals, businesses, and institutions whose generosity makes our work possible. You can view our list of supporters in our most recent impact report.
SamaraCare Counseling and Bridgepoint Psychology Center provide high quality, professional mental health counseling and psychological testing for individuals, couples and families of all ages from diverse backgrounds and varied financial means. With their partnership, Bear Necessities is able to offer essential mental health support for the children and families we serve.
Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) started with one lemonade stand, hosted by their founder Alexandra “Alex” Scott in her front yard which raised $2,000. Alex was just 4 years old and battling neuroblastoma when she asked to donate the money so doctors can find cures for all children battling cancer. Today, ALSF and its supporters honor Alex’s memory by propelling the world towards a future without childhood cancer. Bear Necessities is proud to partner with ALSF to fund essential research in service of our goal to end pediatric cancer for all.
We are proud to have 18 active and ongoing partnerships in Illinois and beyond to serve their pediatric cancer patients through direct referrals from hospital staff.
Bear Hugs are made possible by a generous community of business partners who contribute goods, services, and experiences that enrich the lives of the children and families we serve.
