Already spotted in destinations like New York and Cannes, Shannon Bear is quickly becoming a globetrotting sensation. But he’s more than just a cuddly companion - he’s here for a great cause. Proceeds from every Shannon Bear sold will support The Shannon Airport Group’s 2025 charity partners: Clare Crusaders and Little Blue Heroes, two remarkable organisations dedicated to helping children with additional needs and families navigating long-term medical care.

Alan Reynolds, Head of Retail at Shannon Duty Free, said: “It’s been wonderful to see Shannon Bear heading off on his holidays with passengers since his launch last month. This competition is a fun way to follow his travels while giving back to two incredible charities. One lucky winner will soon be heading to New York - and they’ll have made a meaningful difference along the way.”
