A Legacy of Courage, Continuing Today

Every child deserves to know
they are not alone.

Christy's Treasure Chest brings comfort, hope, and encouragement to children facing chronic illness and Autism Spectrum Disorder — through Adventure Bears, memory-making journeys, and a community that shows up.

One Bear. One Memory. One Mile at a Time.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Christy inspired every journey.

Christy's Treasure Chest was created to bring comfort, hope, and unforgettable memories to children facing chronic illnesses and Autism Spectrum Disorder. Inspired by Christy's courage, every Adventure Bear journey reminds a child that they are never alone.
