The Martha’s Vineyard Teddy Bear Suite was Beary Successful — But We’re Not Done Yet!

Martha's Vineyard Teddy Bear Suite Fundraiser Surpasses Last Year - Help Us Make Our Goal Donate Online NowWell it’s hard to believe it, Christmas in Edgartown has come and gone.  It was a wonderful weekend full of holiday magic including the Teddy Bear Suite where a lot of holiday memories were made.  It was three fun-filled days of happiness and lots of hugging of teddy bears at the Harbor View Hotel’s room 201.  People of all ages enjoyed the splendor of the Teddy Bear Suite.

This program costs $250,000 to run, but only a small percentage of that comes from Club members.  To make the After School program accessible to those who may need it most, it costs parents only $20 per year.  Yes, less than going to the movies.

Because of this gap, and seeing firsthand the impact the Club has on Island Children, Point B Realty wanted to do what it could to help out, and have a lot of fun too.  Hence, the Teddy Bear Suite idea was born. And I know many people are already wondering what fun surprises we have in store for next year.
