Adorable Valentine’s bears are on a mission to spread the love in more ways than one! These bears have been tasked with an all-important, double-whammy mission: show someone they’re loved and support cancer fighters in the process!

 

South Africa (26 January 2025) — With Valentine’s Day looming, this is your sign to get a head-start on planning how you’ll spoil your loved ones (and spare yourself those last-minute trips to the garage just to find out they’re out of flowers). There are a team of Valentine’s Bears just waiting to spread the love—and help you double up on it by supporting a wonderful cause!

Non-profit Cupcakes of HOPE have shared that they’ll be selling adorable Valentine’s bears this year via their online donation shop. Armed with heart-shaped cookies, every bear bought will go a long way in supporting Cupcakes of HOPE’s mission to provide a little relief, joy and care for cancer patients in our country.

And, with International Childhood Cancer Awareness Day coming up on 15 February, the timing couldn’t be more important.

The Valentine’s Bears will be sent out on 1 February so that they aren’t late when Valentine’s Day comes around.
