Project Bear a success for Social Butterflies

The trio of friends that aimed to supply emergency response teams with teddy bears delivered on their promise Saturday.

The Social Butterflies – a trio of friends that emerged from a Girl Scout troop of kids with special needs – collected 204 teddy bears through Project Bear, said Phillis Nowicki, mother of one of the members.

This partnership with Kay Jewelers in the Geneva Commons also raised money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
