CEF Holiday Bear Project

Thank You for Your Support!

CEF is happy to welcome back the revised Holiday Bear Program again this year. We are so thankful to all of the teachers and sponsors who helped support this important program last year. We are excited that the streamlined program will allow us to support even more students this holiday season.

Highlights include:

  • Streamlined gift list to ensure equity and to provide for more students
  • Duffle bag gift container provided by CEF for each nominee
  • Luggage tag and name label for each gift bag

We are excited for this holiday season and hope that you will support us.
Joslyn DeLancey, CEF President

How You Can Participate

We have closed the sponsorship for Holiday Bear this year but we are accepting monetary donations all year long. Thank you for your generosity and Happy Holidays!

Sponsor a Child
CEA will provide information on a nominated child. A sponsor purchases gifts, and drops the package off at the child’s school or closest CEA office.

If you do not want to shop, consider making a monetary donation and we will find a shopper for you!

Donations
Don’t want to shop? You can donate money toward gifts for a child.
