Whirlygigs toy shop kicks off ‘Bears that Care’ initiative

EXETER — For the eleventh consecutive year, Whirlygigs in Exeter is hosting its cherished seasonal promotion, "Bears that Care."

Spearheaded by store owner Geoffrey Pendexter, this heartwarming initiative sees the donation of two teddy bears to the Emergency Department at Exeter Hospital for every one sold throughout December. These teddy bears provide crucial comfort and security to young patients in need of care.

Pendexter, whose customers eagerly anticipate the promotion each year, noted that some local families have made purchasing a bear an annual tradition to support Exeter Hospital and its youngest patients. Those who prefer not to buy a teddy bear can still contribute by donating to support the cause.

The impact of this initiative is profound, with over 500 bears being donated annually to Exeter Hospital in recent years. The hospital’s Emergency Department, which sees approximately 4,000 children annually, deeply appreciates the gesture, as the teddy bears often bring much-needed warmth and reassurance to children during uncertain times.
