Phi Theta Kappa (PTK), the International Honor Society of the Two-Year College, is hosting a ballroom dance event this spring to benefit the young victims of methamphetamine abuse and domestic violence. We are collecting teddy bears, monetary donations, and items for a silent auction. The money, profits from the silent auction, and the teddy bears will all be presented to the Methamphetamine Task Force on the night of the event.
The proceeds from this fun event will benefit the Methbusters Buddy Bear Program, a regional Tennessee PTK charity initiative.

Buddy Bears for Life provides "special friends" for loved ones of terminally ill patients of Hospice. Most hospice patients stay at home and when the nurses visit, they have little to give the children other than pamphlets. Buddy Bears would provide teddy bears for the loved ones to give them someone confide in, talk to, and cry with. Personally experiencing losing a loved one has inspired me to start this program. The Bears will have tags tied to them that have the following poem printed on them: Friends and family can not always be near, That's why I'm giving this teddy bear.

I want to collect as many teddy bears as possible to donate to children's hospitals. I already have some but I would like a grant to purchase cute teddy bears to donate.

The Do Something, Brooks! club decided to help a local Girl Scout who is working on her Gold Award. There is a contingency of people traveling to Paraguay this summer, and it has come to our attention that many/most of the children of this impoverished country have never seen a stuffed animal, and do not own any. We worked with Jessica (age 16) to organize this project. We set a goal of sending at least 700 new and gently-used stuffed animals to Paraguay. When all was said and done, we had collected 1,409 stuffed animals! That's 1,409 happy children in Paraguay!
