Through the years, Bev has created many special bears for a variety of charitable organizations and individuals.  Some have been extensive editions and some are one-of-a-kind creations. Some have been obscure and some were advertised, but all are profoundly important. Here are but a few that you may recognize.   This Is Mitchell Bear..... and His Twin Brother Matthew   CHANCE: The original 30" Chance was created to benefit Mitchell (sleeping child) in his battle against Histiocytosis.  His vest was autographed by Joe Torre, famous coach of the Yankees and a cancer survivor himself.  After a year of travel around the world with Bev, he was auctioned at the QVC National Show, November 2000 for $20,500.00, with the proceeds going to the organization for research.  www.histio.org  Now a robust boy, Mitchell is thankfully in "permanent remission" today.   Histiocytosis Association of America 332 North Broadway Pitman, NJ 08071 USA Phone: +1 856-589-6606 Toll free: +1 800-548-2758 (Us and Canada Only) Fax: +1 856-589-6614 Contact: Jeffrey M.
