Create Smiles Today
Imagine a child in a hospital, surrounded by unfamiliar sights, sounds and people – feeling unhappy, lonely and bored. USF Nursing students see this every day. You can bring a great big smile to that face, and let them know that someone cares. That child will be delighted with your holiday gift that includes a special message delivered by our nursing students from you, their bear sponsor.

You Can Make a Difference
Each gift of $50 will send a bear to a child in a hospital in the Tampa Bay region. There is no limit to the number of bears you may sponsor! By submitting your gift to a child you also unlock an opportunity to purchase bears for yourself! You can send a basket of a dozen bears for only $500!

Join Team USF Nursing
With your philanthropic gift through B.E.A.R.S., not only will you create a smile, but 100% of your gift will support the College’s initiatives to transform healthcare and transform lives.
