Ty Warner launches Hope Beanie Bear, a limited edition praying bear. The largest manufacturer of plush in the world offers a symbol of hope to the world with this limited edition bear while also bringing much-needed support to the United Way Worldwide COVID-19 Fund. Warner will contribute 100% of the profits from the original sale to the fund.
Warner’s announcement follows his decision last month to open his Four Seasons Hotel New York to nurses and medical workers fighting the COVID-19 pandemic, providing them a place to stay free of charge.
Warner is delivering individual Hope bears to the medical professionals currently staying at the hotel – and making additional donations to the United Way Worldwide on their behalf.
Hope will be available worldwide in essential retail outlets such as drug and grocery stores so that people can purchase the bear while shopping for groceries and other essential items. Hope can also be ordered online at Ty.com.
