Cumberland Christian School's cheerleaders recently teamed up with the Bridgeton Rotary Foundation for the Hug-A-Bear program.

The cheerleaders clothed hundreds of bears in Bridgeton Rotary T-Shirts and readied them for new homes. Now complete, the bears are ready to be adopted by a child in need.

Under the Hug-A-Bear program, the stuffed bears are provided to first responders and others to give to children during a time of crisis. Something so simple as a stuffed bear brings great comfort and joy to a child in distress.
