Wondergem Foundation For Children \n \n\n\nSince 2011\, the Billy Bear Hug Foundation (BBH) has provided the cure of comfort to children with critical illnesses in West Michigan. Through our soft & cuddly teddy bears (“Billy Bears”)\, care packages (“Cub Kits”)\, and a handful of events throughout the year\, our goal is to ensure childhood illness is a journey no child or family ever endures alone. \nBBH was founded by close family and friends of Billy Wondergem. Following his passion for serving others and helping children\, BBH hopes to continue Billy’s positive impact on the local and medical communities for decades to come. \nWe partner with organizations like the Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital\, Bronson Children’s Hospital\, Metro Health Hospital\, Ronald McDonald House\, Children’s Healing Center\, and Hospice of Michigan\, providing our signature Billy Bears and Cub Kits to children with critical illnesses. In keeping true with the idea of bridging Billy’s passions for helping children and serving others\, we also partner with local hockey teams\, schools and other organizations. \n\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/98338629106?pwd=Qk5leFVVVWZpSmZzcDJycVEwWDBtQT09 \nMeeting ID: 983 3862 9106\nPassword: to be provided in an email\nOne tap mobile\n+19294362866\,\,98338629106#\,\,1#\,666095# US (New York)\n+13017158592\,\,98338629106#\,\,1#\,666095# US (Germantown) \nDial by your location\n+1 929 436 2866 US (New York)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Germantown)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\nFind your local number: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kbJQYuawqu
