Cuddle Buddies is a unique youth organization that collects new and lightly used stuffed animals for vulnerable and emotionally troubled children.
Cuddle Buddies is run by two high school students George Fullerton and Libby Corvin of Piedmont, California. Cuddle Buddies was founded in 2004 and since has grown to an international mission distributing over 30,000 stuffed animal “buddies” to fourteen nonprofit agencies in California, Utah, 
Illinois, Connecticut and Mexico as well as to orphanages in Kenya, Zimbabwe and Maseru Lesotho, Africa.
Cuddle Buddies’ donations come from schools, community groups, businesses and toy manufacturers. George Fullerton, who recently took the reins from his sister Anastasia Fullerton who founded Cuddle Buddies, would like to see Cuddle Buddies become a self sustaining non profit corporation. George and Libby hope to establish more chapters throughout the country so that more children can have a ‘buddie’ to hug and help them through the tough times.”
Cuddle Buddies has local chapters in Piedmont, CA, Greenwich, CT, Greensboro, NC and Salt Lake City, UT.
