Child Rescue Coalition hosts family-friendly volunteer events to assemble care packages for rescued children. The care packages include a branded bag, a teddy bear and a soft blanket. The care packages are donated to law enforcement officers to carry in their patrol cars. When a child is rescued, the officer offers the blanket and bear to the child, which offers some comfort in a frightening situation.

EVENT
Blankets and Bear Hugs events are casual gatherings with lunch or snacks and ice cream. The events are complimentary to guests, and we expect between 75-100 volunteers in attendance. The day concludes with a presentation of the care packages to local law enforcement.

The exclusive sponsorship opportunity for Blankets and Bear Hugs is the Title Partner, with a sponsorship level of $5,000. This sponsorship includes prominent branding on our website, event invitations, and event signage. In addition, the sponsorship includes ten (10) guest invitations, the opportunity to speak, and the option to distribute branded material to all guests.
