Bear Necessities Pediatric Cancer Foundation provides unparalleled hope and support to those touched by pediatric cancer. Our vision is a world without this devastating disease. It is critical to help patients and their families today while supporting pediatriccancer research to ultimately discover a cure. At Bear Necessities, we do both.  Bear Hug Program: A Bear Hug is a customized experience that brings joy to a child battling cancer. Every Bear Hug is different because every child is different, and we create special moments so these children can feel like kids again. We also support cancer patients’ families by providing relief for daily costs, such asgrocery or phone bills. When we help meet parents’ basic needs, they can focus on what matters most: their child. Counseling Program: Anyone referred to us for a Bear Hug within the past eight years is eligible for our counseling program, which offers therapy through our partnership with a counsleing center. Pediatric cancer affects the entire family. Through this program, any pediatric cancer patient, survivor, or immediate family member can receive up to 12 counseling sessions with a licensed clinical therapist, free of charge.  Hope Education Scholarships: We provide educational scholarships to pediatric cancer patients, survivors, and their siblings to give them hope for a brighter future.  Bear Discoveries: We continue to invest in pediatric cancer research through our partnership with Alex’s Lemonade Stand, a leading pediatric cancer research supporter, whose mission is to empower everyone to help cure childhood cancer.
