Who is Good Bears of the World?
Good Bears of the World was founded in England in 1969 by the late journalist and radio pioneer, James Theodore Ownby. Headquarters were located in Mr. Ownbys radio station, KNDI, in Honolulu, Hawaii until the group relocated to Toledo, Ohio in 1991. The purpose of Good Bears of the World is to spread love and caring to children and the elderly who are in need of comfort and solacing. GBW was the first group to donate teddy bears to police departments in the early 80s. This program has gained tremendous popularity in the last few decades. Mr. Ownby passed away in 1986 but his dream is carried on by members in the United States and across the world. Hundreds of thousands of teddy bears, provided by GBW, have eased the fears and trauma of lost and abused children, accident and natural disaster victims, as well as the lonely, fearful elderly. GBW is still vigorous and growing. This caring group is supported entirely by membership and donations. Why should I support Good Bears of the World
