Sharon Bush
and her daughters Lauren and Ashley
with good pal Patrick McMullan invited a
group of their friends to celebrate Mother’s Day and
the first anniversary of Teddy Share Bears
with a luncheon at the East Side Social Club (230
East 51st Street). The party was generously
sponsored by Dior Beauty and llanllyr Source Water.
Teddy Share is a company Sharon founded in 2008.
“Since everyone loves teddy bears, my idea was to
create a series of bears that could be
individualized to represent any organization.
Selling the loveable bears could be used to raise
money for various charities.”
The first charity to seize the on idea was FEED
Projects <http://www.feedprojects.org/> , which
raises money to feed hungry school children around
the world. FEED Bears, made from organic cotton and
burlap, raise funds for Industrial Revelation and
the production of Plumpy'nut, a ready-to-use
therapeutic food proven to treat acute malnutrition
with astounding success rates. The proceeds from
each of their two bears, aptly named Plumpy
and Nut, provide the nutritious paste
respectively to 5 and 3 malnourished children. You
can order them from their website:
www.feedprojects.com/_product_78667/FEED_5_Bear
.
The
boisterous luncheon with delicious food prepared by
Chef Devon Gilroy was a perfect way to
celebrate the first anniversary of such noble bears.
Among those joining in the fun were Tinsley
Mortimer, Nicole Miller, Dylan Lauren,
Gillian Miniter, Felicia Taylor,
Somers Farkas, Michèle Gerber Klein,
Patricia Duff, Cristina Greeven Cuomo,
