Plush bears that go in search of donations for sick children and associations. This is the original initiative set up by Dominique Jayram. Himself touched by the disease, he realized that “in the disease, we need associations to help us”. The Jurassian wanted to find “a fun and participative means” to collect donations. He then created the My Teddy’s association to help children with cancer as well as to support different Jurassic associations. The cubs were provided by Caritas Jura. The jurassian protected workshops were responsible for making them vests and small backpacks that contain useful information in the four national languages.
In total, 28 bear will cross Switzerland for ten months as of Monday, the official date of the launch of the project. The donations collected by 18 bear will go to a common pot and will then be redistributed to different Swiss hospitals. The money collected by the 10 specific bearings will go directly to the prize pool of the beneficiary association. AJAFEC, ADC Bejune, Caritas Jura, the Jura protected workshops, the Jura League against Cancer and the Jura Hospital saw their specific pooles on Monday morning. Dominique Jayram says he is very satisfied and affected by the reception received in French -speaking Switzerland when he presented his project to associations and various institutions. German Switzerland has been less open and enthusiastic, he analyzes.
The 28 bearings will thus travel until March 2026. Dominique Jayram does not lack ideas for the future: “There are already projects that are germinating, but rather internationally. »Confide it. The Jurassic explains that cubs will probably have specific missions and will have to reach places around the world, for example the statue of freedom in New York.
