Is my child eligible for a Magical Bear?
We send out free Magical Bears to Aussie children that have a serious illness (e.g. Heart conditions, Cancer) or a disability (e.g. Autism Spectrum Disorder, Cerebral Palsy, vision/hearing impairment) on their birthday. If you are not sure about your child’s condition, please email suenolan72@gmail.com and we will let you know.
What proportion of the money I donate is used for admin costs?
None of the cash donations or proceeds from the Magical Bears store are used for admin. 100% is used for donating gifts (and postage costs). We pay for the bears to be produced, marketing, website costs and we volunteer our time to run the program.
How can I support the Magical Bears program?
You can donate money to sponsor a bear (you will not receive a bear yourself), or you can buy Magical Bears products (you will receive the product) and the proceeds are used for donating gifts.
You can also support the program by liking the Facebook page and following us on Instagram.
Is the Magical Bears a Registered Charity?
The Magical Bears is a community program run by volunteers but we are not a Registered Charity.
