ABOUT BEAR COTTAGE:
Bear Cottage, an initiative of The Children’s Hospital at Westmead,

and bereavement support for parents and siblings after the death of a child.
Bear Cottage receives no state government funding.

all the necessary
paint, equipment and himself to create this original work of art. Cole
Classic is kindly supporting the project BARE ART. The Cole Classic has
been established
for 28 years and has a strong sense to include the community and that
translates into mixing sport and art.
