Gavin Moran age 12 is a military child whose father is currently deployed and has been deployed numerous amount of times since he was 2 weeks old. Gavin knows the demand and sacrifice that is requested of our Military Children, in honor of them he has initiated a Community Service project called the Military Children's Teddy Bear Drive. He will be collecting Teddy Bears for children of deployed soldiers. Anyone can give to this drive. This drive is one that is not a big demand on anyone. A teddy bear can do so much for a child who is struggling to cope with a deployed parent. Please help us honor these children.
