 The Meaning of The Bear Affair.

We call this event the Bear Affair to honor a child's first visit to PCA and the
first big step in their healing journey.

Every child who comes through PCA receives a brand new stuffed animal
to bring them comfort and joy during a difficult time.

Bear Affair guests are invited to bring a new stuffed animal to the event,
which will end up in the arms of a survivor.
