Ardi Wilson focuses her teddy bear loving energy on gathering bears for those in need through Ardi's Bears. Gathering thousands of bears each year, they are delivered to children, single mothers, and the elderly throughout the year. Wanting to involve their local gym- Baptist East Milestone Center in St. Matthews- Dick and Ardi Wilson set the goal of gathering 2011 bears through the gym- to increase the number of individuals they can help during the Holiday season.

To date- they have gathered 1,442 of the 2011 bears- and are confident that with the support of gym members, friends, and the Louisville community, they will reach this goal! To contribute by donating a bear (any size), you can drop it off at Baptist East Milestone or contact Ardi Wilson at 502.417.8504
