The Prize

The Debbie Harry Denim Bear

A unique handmade bear made from a pair of jeans donated by Debbie Harry.

The bear was created as part of The Great Teddy Bear Project, which features 21 uniquely crafted teddy bears made from jeans donated by famous names from the worlds of music, TV and OUTER SPACE!

Handmade by Canterbury Bears at their workshop in the Kentish countryside, each bear is embroidered with the signature of the celebrity whose jeans they are made from.

The project is organised in support of Together for Short Lives, the UK’s leading charity for the 99,000 children with a life-limiting or life-threatening condition and their families.

About Debbie Harry:

Known worldwide as the face of Blondie, the name Debbie Harry evokes many images: seminal rock-n-roll figure, complex songstress, incandescent front woman, actor and fashion icon.

As a vibrant global force and a shaper of pop culture, Debbie’s chart-topping success, fearless spirit and rare longevity led to an induction into the Rock ‘N’ Roll Hall of Fame for Blondie in 2006. With more than 50 million albums sold worldwide and acclaimed solo projects, Debbie has also engaged
in a successful acting career with over 30 film and television roles to her credit (including Videodrome, Hairspray, and Heavy to name a few). She has become and still remains a true national treasure, one whose influence continues to impact the worlds of music, fashion and art.

From an irreverent Lower East Side punk goddess to a bona fide international ambassador of New York cool, Debbie will forever be synonymous with that punk spirit that lives somewhere in all of us.

The Cause

CALM
The Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) is leading a movement against male suicide – the single biggest killer of men under 45 in the UK. CALM runs a free and confidential helpline and webchat – 7 hours a day, 7 days a week – for anyone who needs to talk about life’s problems, as well as supporting those bereaved by suicide and working in the community to reengage with people before they reach the point of crisis.

The charity actively campaigns via the media to spread awareness of suicide and challenge male stereotypes, using cultural touch points like art, music, sport and comedy.
