The Buddy Bears stand for values that are particularly close to our hearts: freedom, peace, tolerance, cosmopolitanism and treating each other with respect – regardless of origin, culture or religion.
In a world characterised by a longing for freedom and peace, we want children everywhere to be able to grow up in safety and care.
Thanks to your support, we have been able to raise more than €2.6 million for children's aid organisations since 2002, helping many children in need.
We would like to express our sincere thanks for all your valuable help and loyal support.
Without you, this would not have been possible! Thank you!
"Spread a little light - every day, in some little way ..." Eva Herlitz (1952 - 2021)
These words from Eva Herlitz accompany us and remind us how important it is to spread a little ‘light’ every day.
We wish you a peaceful and fulfilling Advent season, happy holidays and a healthy New Year!
To you, dear Buddy Bear friends, we wish you good health, much light during the dark season, and all the best for the new year!
A special thank you goes to the artist Sabeth Holland, whose unique artwork graces this year’s Buddy Bear Berlin Christmas card. Her vibrant and expressive style reflects the optimism and warmth that accompany our message of light, peace and togetherness.
