Beverly's Angels

Tomorrow is Benny’s Birthday! Officer O’Brien with the City of Marco Island Police Department proudly uses her Hero Kit to connect with children in her community.

Inside the kit are items that help break the ice and build trust, but ask her which one she reaches for first, and the answer is always the same: Benny.

Sometimes all it takes is a teddy bear to turn a scary or unfamiliar interaction into one filled with comfort, conversation, and connection. Benny helps officers meet children where they are, creating moments of kindness they’ll remember long after the encounter.

Help us make sure Benny’s birthday wish comes true. Every gift today helps place Benny Bears into the hands of people who need comfort most. Donate today at the link in our bio.
