Outside a firehouse during the teddy bear run

Last month we had the honor of capturing something special—Arlington ABATE on a teddy bear run through the city, delivering plush comfort to firehouses across Arlington, Texas. While known for their advocacy and presence on the open road, this group showed their heart for community service with their "Cubs" project.

Arlington ABATE is a chapter of the Texas Abate Confederation, a motorcycle rights organization that stands for rider freedom, education, and awareness. But their community efforts go even further, reminding us that the spirit of riding is also about giving back.

With a saddlebag full of teddies and smiles all around, these riders brought joy to first responders and the kids they often care for. The Cubs project is a testament to their belief that community engagement extends beyond the realm of motorcycling – it's about fostering connections, spreading joy, and uniting diverse members of the community.

Plush in a Rush is proud to have supplied the bears used on this run. Community service is what we love most about our customers—and Arlington ABATE brought it home.
