Bears For Humanity™ Supports the Semper Fi Fund Through Fundraising Partnership
Foster City, CA (PRWEB) December 17, 2013 -- Bears For Humanity™, the online destination for socially conscious teddy bear lovers that gives 30 percent of its sales to humanitarian causes, today named the Semper Fi Fund as one of its four key beneficiary charities. The Semper Fi Fund is a nonprofit organization that provides immediate financial assistance and lifetime support for injured and critically ill members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families.
Bears For Humanity sells handcrafted teddy bears online that can be personalized for that special someone or occasion. Under its commitment to demonstrate good corporate citizenship and give back, Bears For Humanity contributes 30 percent of its gross sales to humanitarian causes. While Bears for Humanity partners with charities to drive special fundraising campaigns, the Semper Fi Fund has been named one of its four core beneficiary causes. The Semper Fi Fund provides relief for financial needs that arise during hospitalization and recovery, as well as assistance for those with perpetuating needs.
“Our Military and their families carry the ultimate burden for Americans, and the Semper Fi Fund works tirelessly to give them critical financial assistance when it is needed most,” says Vijay Prathap, Co-Founder and Chief Humanitarian at Bears For Humanity. “We are honored to help the Semper Fi Fund drive additional, ongoing fundraising dollars to help our nation’s Heroes.”
“We are so grateful to Bears For Humanity for their efforts on behalf of our injured and critically ill service members,” said Karen Guenther, CEO and Founder of Semper Fi Fund. “The funds these teddy bears raise will go a long way toward giving military families a very happy holiday—plus they make fantastic gifts!”
