Report written by Sheffield runner
Really keeping it under wraps, I delayed writing this report until the bears were on the streets of Sheffield.. (I think they have been there a few weeks now..)
5 GGrs supported The Children's Hospital Charity for this great pre-event where all the bears were brought together prior to roaming (or being strategically placed) the streets of Sheffield for the public to enjoy as part of their fund raising campaign to raise vital funds for Sheffield Children’s Hospital to transform the Cancer and Leukaemia ward for patients.
We: * unloaded colourful bears from the delivery vehicles - shouting Timbear! * shifted bears * curated bears - o so many colours and designs, which look best next to which? * unwrapped bears * cleaned bears * found and placed bear names and artist information next to bears * posed in bubble wrap followed by tidying it up of course
Fun fact: How many cups of tea does it take to be Creative? The original botantical garden bear sculpture found in Sheffield's Botantical Gardens, in its creation, 200 cups of tea went into the making :)
The Bears of Sheffield will help fund a new Cancer and Leukaemia Ward at Sheffield Children’s through donations, merchandise, sponsorship challenges and fundraising throughout the trail. At the end the Bears will also be auctioned off to the highest bidder to raise money!
