AT&T Pioneers deliver bears to children

The members of the Northeast Ohio Chapter of the AT&T Pioneers recently delivered 11 new teddy bears to the Mahoning County Court Appointed Special Advocates/Guardian Ad Litem program during the CASA/GAL volunteer breakfast at A La Cart Catering in Canfield. The bears are dressed in superhero outfits and were given to children being assisted by the CASA program to help comfort them as they are placed in foster care.
