The Tiny Hands Foundation has launched “The Teddy Bear Brigade” with a goal to donate at least 300 Teddy Bears to the Sarasota and Bradenton Police Departments for local children. These 'Teddy Bear Deputies' will ride with police officers and will be given out to help comfort children in distress. Sarasota Chief of Police Bernadette A. Dipino will accept more than 200 Deputy Teddy Bears who will “report for duty” on Tuesday November 4, at 3pm at the Sarasota Police Department Teddy Bear Presentation Ceremony, Sarasota Police Station, 2099 Adams Lane in Sarasota. To help you can donate and drop off a Teddy Bear at the Boys & Girls Club of Sarasota, on Fruitville Road through November 1 or make a financial contribution online. The Tiny Hands Foundation, along with the assistance of hundreds of community friends, donors, sponsors, and volunteers has led charitable initiatives benefiting over 25,000 underprivileged children and families throughout Sarasota, Manatee, and DeSoto counties.
