Bears on Patrol
Bears on Patrol is a cooperative effort between Kosair Charities and local law enforcement agencies to provide patrol cars with teddy bears and other stuffed animals. The stuffed animals are used by officers throughout Kentucky and Southern Indiana to comfort young children exposed to traumatic situations.
Thanks to the generosity of caring individuals, more than 200,000 stuffed animals have been distributed.
The Bears on Patrol program is another way Kosair Charities demonstrates its concern for the children of Kentucky and Southern Indiana. For over 80 years, Kosair Charities has helped children receive the vital medical care they need when their families cannot afford it.
You can make a gift to celebrate a child’s birthday or other event and, in doing so, help a child who needs a fuzzy friend when their world is falling apart. Individuals wanting to donate teddy bears or other stuffed animals to the Bears on Patrol program can drop them off at Kosair Charities.

Our friends at PMR Companies have created a new Bears on Patrol logo and renovated our volunteer center where our Bears on Patrol program is housed. Kosair Charities would like to extend a big “Thank You!” to our friends at PMR!
