This Week's Welcome

Sponsor Spotlight: Crochet by Mocha!

A heartfelt THANK YOU to @
crochet_by_mocha for being a sponsor to a Little Cub in our Beary Merry Christmas Toy Drive!

Juli, the creative heart behind
Crochet by Mocha, shared something so meaningful:

“Crochet is my favorite thing to fill my time with. As my creations come to life and are gifted to people, it always encourages me with the spirit of the season. Giving is truly the spirit of the season.”

Hooked on spreading holiday magic!

Thank you for helping us make this holiday season beary merry for these Little Cubs!

Sponsor Sign-Up Deadline: Nov 22
