About Olivia's Bears
Our Mission
Olivia knows first-hand that she could not have made it through her struggles without the love and support of others. Her hope is that the gift of a bear reminds children in need of how many people love and care for them.
Olivia's Bears wants to reach as many children and families as we can. We know both the child diagnosed with an illness and their support system are affected by this life changing event.
Our goal is to provide support at all stages of a child's journey with their illness. We know that support is still needed even after their time in the hospital is over.
⛳ Golf Tournament Update
We are thrilled to share that our 2025 Olivia’s Bears Golf Tournament is officially sold out for golfers — thank you for your incredible support!
We are still welcoming sponsors, live auction items, and raffle donations to help make this year’s event a success. Please reach out if you’d like to get involved!
