Participants adorn their bikes with plush new teddy bears and stuffed animals which eventually make their way into the arms of children who come to the CACCC for help following a disclosure of abuse.

“The Teddy Bear Ride provides one of the most crucial parts of the formula, the teddy bear. The key towards Hope, Healing and Justice for the children,” said longtime Teddy Bear Ride committee member, David Kellaway.

“Partnering with Children’s Advocacy Center of Collin County, allows us the opportunity to have a positive impact on abused and neglected children and families, right here in our own community,” said Jim Price, Director of Collections with Harley-Davidson Financial Services.
