Did you know that when a child goes to the emergency room at our hospital or their family suffers a house fire or a boating accident, that they can be given a beautiful, comforting teddy bear to snuggle with? These bears are provided by the Beta Sigma Phi sorority and we hope that any family who has a situation where the children could use a comforting friend, that they will ask for one of the teddy bears.
The only fundraising event that Beta Sigma Phi holds to raise money for these bears is the Fourth of July pie sale. And it’s a hit every year. This year, the sorority will be joined by the Wrangell Medical Center Foundation to make the pie sale better than ever. Can you help out?
We are looking for pie donations from the community. Pies should be covered. they can be a full-sized nine-inch or 10-inch pie, or one of the smaller, single-serving pies.
Pies can be dropped off any time after 8 a.m. on the Fourth at the pie sale booth at our traditional location on the porch behind the chiropractor’s office. You can specify whether your pie is for the benefit of the teddy bears or the WMC Foundation.
We appreciate all donations and we will continue to provide those warm, cuddly, comforting teddy bears.
The sisters of Beta Sigma Phi
