Schusterman Library's 2025 Teddy Bear Drive
Our annual campus tradition, started by Janet Minnerath (late director of Schusterman Library) in 1992, is back for the 33rd 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 Child Advocacy Network. Each child helped by CAN will receive a stuffed toy and a blanket, and because CAN helps children of all ages from 0-18 they need a variety of stuffed toys and blankets!
