The Great Bear Society

Leaving a legacy for our sickest kids

The Great Bear Society is a community of people who are creating a lasting legacy by leaving a gift to the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation in their Will.

These Great Bears stand confidently in the name of something bigger than themselves and act as defenders of hope for our sickest kids. They give generously in support of families they may have never met and to a cause that may never touch them directly.

The Great Bear Society builds a brighter future for thousands of vulnerable children across Western Canada. These guardians of children’s health help the Stollery pursue excellence. They are the rock families stand on during extraordinary battles.

Great Bears protect our Little Bears, and their gifts change lives forever.

Guided by the Great Bear

The Great Bear and the Little Bear constellations, Ursa Major and Ursa Minor, have lit up the night sky and inspired civilizations for thousands of years. The Great Bear is a symbol of health and protection, and a trusted marker for navigating the world.
