Vermont Teddy Bear Co.

Making the world a better place, one bear at a time, has been the mission of the Vermont Teddy Bear Company since it began 25 years ago.

Rooted in the enduring Vermont values of hard work and quality craftsmanship, each Teddy Bear sent through its Bear-Gram delivery service is hand-crafted in Vermont and guaranteed for life, and is shipped with a personalized card and candy treat. With over 100 Bears from which to choose for any occasion, life event or holiday, the Vermont Teddy Bear Company helps people connect in a fun, personal and meaningful way.

Recognizing that real bears around the world today face many threats, in 2006 the company launched a program that provides essential financial resources to IFAW. Vermont Teddy Bear introduced a Save the Bears collection that includes 20" Panda, Polar, Grizzly, Black, Koala and Moon teddy bears. Five dollars of each sale supports the bear rescue and rehabilitation efforts of IFAW.

"We wanted to help increase IFAW’s success rates and raise awareness of the threats against these incredible animals," said Elisabeth Robert, President and CEO of Vermont Teddy Bear. "It was important to all of us at Vermont Teddy Bear to provide funding from the sale of each of the new bears to help to sustain IFAW’s efforts and to support what they are doing to instill change."

Like all Vermont Teddy Bears, the Moon, Panda, Polar, Black, Koala and Grizzly Bears are handmade in Vermont and guaranteed for life. The Save the Bears collection is sold through the Company’s website, catalog, and phone center. Bears can be ordered by calling a friendly Bear Counselor® at 1-800-829-BEAR as well as online at www.VermontTeddyBear.com.
