Bears and Blankets Initiative
Benefiting WVU Medicine Children's Hospital
Each year, over 9,000 children are admitted to WVU Medicine Children's Hospital, many facing severe health challenges in an unfamiliar environment. To provide comfort, the WVU Alumni Lone Star Chapter launched the Bears and Blankets program six years ago, supporting the hospital's Child Life Program. In 2025, the initiative was expanded nationwide as a community involvement project for WVU Alumni Chapters. Through this effort, the WVU Alumni Association and all of its chapters will collect and donate stuffed animals and blankets to bring comfort to young patients during their hospital stay. Our goal is to collect 1,000 Bears and Blankets through both item donations and financial contributions by December 1st.
