Motel 6 locations throughout Canada and the US collected more than 5,400 teddy bears as part of the chain’s fourth-annual Great Teddy Bear Roundup. The teddy bears have been donated to law enforcement agencies, fire departments, hospitals and local Ronald McDonald Houses to provide comfort to children in stressful or traumatic situations. “We are grateful to the guests and community members who generously donated and helped us collect the teddy bears,” said Jim Amorosia, CEO of Motel 6 and Studio 6. “Police, fire departments and social services are such an integral part of the local community, and we are proud to help them offer comfort to children in need.” Each year, police and fire departments collect teddy bears to donate to hospitals and child protective agencies or to hand out to children they encounter every day. Now in its fourth year, the Great Teddy Bear Roundup has garnered more than 25,000 teddy bears in support of these efforts.
