Bears for Brilliance

Bears for Brilliance is a program that is being fully rolled out in 2023 to provide a bear for each sponsorship recipient that would like to receive one. They have a Burden Bear card attached as shown below. This is all possible because of the generous founding donor, Cactus Tools, who provided the first $5,000 to be allocated to this program. We are so thankful for their amazing support.
