I’m sure we all remember our favorite stuffed animal, doll, or blanket that we had as a child. Most of us carried them everywhere and used it as a security blanket or a best friend. The UT Martin Rotaract Club wanted to make sure that the children in our area had a chance to experience the love we all had as a child with our stuffed animals. During February and March they had a campus and community wide teddy bear drive and collected 150 bears. These stuffed animals will be used by various agencies in Gibson and Weakley County and in Kentucky that work with children who have gone through a crisis. The Rotaract Club would like to thank all those who donated a stuffed animal. You have helped to put a smile on a child’s face and make their life a little better during tough times.
