Sharon Bush and her daughters Lauren and Ashley with good pal Patrick McMullan invited a group of their friends to celebrate Mother’s Day and the first anniversary of Teddy Share Bears with a luncheon at the East Side Social Club in New York City on May 4, 2010. The party was generously sponsored by Dior Beauty and llanllyr Source Water.
Teddy Share is a company Sharon founded in 2008. “Since everyone loves teddy bears, my idea was to create a series of bears that could be individualized to represent any organization. Selling the loveable bears could be used to raise money for various charities.”
The first charity to seize the on idea was FEED Projects, which raises money to feed hungry school children around the world. FEED Bears, made from organic cotton and burlap, raise funds for Industrial Revelation and the production of Plumpy'nut, a ready-to-use therapeutic food proven to treat acute malnutrition with astounding success rates. The proceeds from each of their two bears, aptly named Plumpy and Nut, provide the nutritious paste respectively to 5 and 3 malnourished children. You can order them from their website: www.feedprojects.com/_product_78667/FEED_5_Bear.
The boisterous luncheon with delicious food prepared by Chef Devon Gilroy was a perfect way to celebrate the first anniversary of such noble bears. Among those joining in the fun were Tinsley Mortimer, Nicole Miller, Dylan Lauren, Gillian Miniter, Felicia Taylor, Somers Farkas, Michèle Gerber Klein, Patricia Duff, Cristina Greeven Cuomo, Faye Wattleton, Janna Bullock, Elizabeth Kabler, Jean Shafiroff, Jennifer Bradford Davis, Patty Raynes, Alison Mazzola, Ellen Gustafson, Alice Weil Judelson, Ann Rapp, Samantha Yanks, Liam McMullan, Sam Bolton and Plumpy’nut representative Navyn Salem. Also mothers and daughters: Elaine and Dianne Vavra, Marlene and Nicole Sexton, Marsha and Bryn Kenny, Eleanora Kennedy and Anna Safir, and Sarah Michels and Haley Strader.
