6 The Teddy Bears indeed had their Picnic at the second annual Rotary Club of Ormeau-Pimpama’s Teddy Bears Picnic held on Sunday 9th June 2024 at Heritage Park Pimpama. The weather was perfect and the bears were very well dressed as children paraded around holding their bears with pride. All for the good cause fundraising for this years’ chosen children’s charity the Starlight Children’s Foundation. The Starlight Children’s Foundation is a wonderful organisation helping to brighten the lives of seriously ill and hospitalised children, young people and their families by replacing the pain, fear and loneliness of hospitalisation with fun, joy and laughter. Many of those who attended the event had their own personal stories about their interactions with the Joyful Bears and Generous Hearts: Celebrating Success at the Teddy Bears Picnic Starlight Children’s Foundation. We are pleased to announce that the event raised approximately $10,000 for the Starlight Children’s Foundation. A highlight of the event was a very special visit from the one and only Humphrey B. Bear. What a delight to see the smiles on faces of both young and old as they took happy snaps and gave a big hug to Humphrey. This included our Rotary Club of Ormeau-Pimpama members with Humphrey giving a helping hand to our volunteers at the BBQ. We would like to thank all of our volunteers, fellow community organisations, local businesses, and event and prize sponsors for making this event possible and a success. Finally, a big thank you to both Gold Coast City Council Division 1 Councillor Mark Hammel and State Member for Coomera Michael Crandon for their continued support to provide the community a family friendly event each year. The Rotary Club of Ormeau-Pimpama are pleased to deliver this event for the community and look forward to making more happy memories next year.
