FOSTER'S
SCHOLARSHIP
Foster The Bear Foundation uses donations and bear purchases to help fund the dreams of foster youth and provide them with the resources they need for continued education. Visit the Donate page to learn more about the scholarship program.
WHY FOSTER
IS BLUE
Our mascot, Foster, is blue -- the color that represents foster care. The blue ribbon is used as a symbol for National Foster Care Month in May. Foster The Bear brings awareness to the color of foster care and the needs of foster kids. Foster is the mascot for foster care.
SUPPORTING
FOSTER CARE
Not everyone can be a foster parent or a volunteer. Through purchases and donations, all ages and types of people can help raise awareness, get involved, and show support for the kids in foster care. It takes a community of people to help change the foster care system.
