Teddy Bear Convoy returns June 7th in St. John’s!

We are excited to announce Teddy Bear Convoy is returning on Sunday, June 7, 2026 for the
42nd Janeway Children’s Miracle Network Telethon!

The Teddy Bear Convoy, started by the Just for Kids Transportation Group in 2003, is one of the Janeway Foundation’s longest-running fundraisers. Year after year, the generous trucking community shows up and comes together to give their support for the Janeway Children’s Health and Rehabilitation Centre.

The Teddy Bear Convoy was designed to raise funds for the Janeway, and spark excitement and smiles on the faces of the patients, their families and staff at the Janeway either waiting on the curb, or gathered at hospital windows.
The Teddy Bear Convoy has raised more than $860,000 for the Janeway!!
