The Penny Bear has become a symbol of comfort, compassion, and love, a friend to cry, laugh, and share secrets with... perfect for anyone in need of a hug! We are pleased to have you visit our Penny Bear web site. Please stay a while and open your heart to the ways we try to create love, reassurance and hope wherever someone needs a special hug.
As a result of my own near-death
experience following an allergic reaction to a bee sting, I realized
how quickly life can end and that we should enjoy every minute of
every day. I no longer feared death, and I knew then that I wanted
to make a difference in the lives of others…especially those
who are dying and those who love them. |

We talked a lot about our hopes and dreams, and the need for a sense of purpose. As ill as he was, Seth was searching for his own life's purpose and ways to help others. With Seth as vice president and a few others who believed as I did, we opened my home and created the Penny Bear Company. We began with a single project…sending messages of love, hope, trust and compassion wherever they are needed through one of the most universal ambassadors…teddy bears. I believe that Seth and all the
wonderful people who have come into my life have done so that, together,
we can provide positive encouragement wherever it is needed in the
world. Penny Wigglesworth |

Our Mission Magic happens when individuals and organizations join with one another to make our world a happier, safer place in which to live. Since 1995 our all-volunteer, non-profit Penny Bear Company has provided people of all ages with a variety of opportunities to extend our mission of sharing messages of love, hope, comfort and compassion through charitable outreach projects in local communities and beyond. What are Penny Bears?
Penny Bears are small enough to fit in a hand that needs something to hold, and large enough for people to hug, laugh, and cry with…a gentle promise that the whispers of their owners' hearts will be heard with unconditional love. Thank you for visiting our site. There will be many new journeys for the Penny Bears, and we welcome your interest and suggestions as we send them on their way. As more links are created with other wonderful organizations and individuals, our site will continue to change. We hope you will make return visits and become a new friend. The
