There’s a teddy bear picnic happening at the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown, and it’s all for a good cause.
The Hilton Vancouver Metrotown has released three limited edition Hilton bears in an effort to raise money for Make-A-Wish Foundation BC and Yukon Canada. The bears are $19.99 (plus tax) with all proceeds going to Make-A-Wish, according to a press release from the hotel.
Available for purchase are 300 chef bears and 300 bell person bears. There are also 10 extra special Conrad bears that give buyers a chance to win a weekend stay at the hotel and Sunday brunch for two.
“We are starting to sell the bears now in hopes of raising enough money by our anniversary celebration next year,” said Chris Perna, general manager of the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown. “An average wish costs $7,000 so that is our fundraising goal with the bears. This is not just a teddy bear. It is making hopes and dreams of children with life-threatening medical conditions a reality.”
