MSUM students launch Bear With Me campaign
Challenge students to take bears on an adventure
MSUM students launched the Bear With Me campaign to challenge other students show their support for local kids with cancer. Stuffed bears, picked out by local children with cancer, are available for MSUM students to check out (just like a library book) and bring on adventures across the Fargo/Moorhead area and beyond. Going somewhere great for spring break anyone? Take a bear and surprise a child.
The three children, who the bears represent, all have different forms of cancer. They all have different dreams and hopes for where their own personalized bears can travel. They will be vicariously living through their bears experiences through social media. You can check out a bear by going to the Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter page, Bear With Me, or at the Bear With Me booth on campus at the Comstock Memorial Union and Dragon Café.
Students are invited to join the fight to advocate the lack of treatment options for children affected with cancer. With Purpose, the nonprofit sponsoring the campaign, is a youth and community-led movement dedicated to making sure kids with cancer have access to safe and effective treatment options. They believe kids with cancer should have hope for a bright future. They advocate for families affected by childhood cancer, empower youth and community leaders to take action and invest in ground-breaking initiatives that remove the barriers to advancing treatment for childhood cancer.
