Teddy Bear Drive 2023

Our annual campus tradition is back for the 26th year! Help bring joy to children who have experienced abuse or neglect by donating a new stuffed toy or a new blanket for Tulsa’s Children's Advocacy Center/Child Abuse Network. Each child who is helped by CAC/CAN receives a stuffed toy and a blanket. Because CAC/CAN helps children ages 0-18, they need a variety of stuffed toys and blankets!

To donate, bring any new stuffed toy or new blanket to Schusterman Library.
