2020 – Wow, what a year for the history books. Truly a year full of ups, downs, and more changes than we could have thought possible. I spoke to Toni Watson (Co-Founder/Vice President) and Jennifer Thomas (Fundraising and Event Coordinator) from Bears of Hope about how they quickly adapted their 2020 Choosing Hope campaign during the COVID-19 pandemic.

We know that there are a lot of people who can’t be with their Mums, Grandmothers or other mother-figures on Mother’s Day this year – so we have created a way you can let her know that you’re thinking of her.
This year, we’ve created virtual bouquets that you can send to Mum with a donation to her favourite charity. You can also dedicate a virtual bouquet in memory of a loved one. All Australian organisations on the GoFundraise platform have been added to this campaign.
