The Teddie Purpose

Supporting our local community is of utmost importance to Teddie. 

We’re proud to partner with charities and organizations across New England that help benefit our community as a whole.

The Official Peanut Butter of Best Buddies International

As a proud sponsor of this organization, every jar of Teddie Peanut Butter sold helps support Best Buddies International and people with intellectual disabilities.

Teddie was first introduced to Best Buddies when James, Mark Hintlian’s nephew who has Down Syndrome, started participating in the organization. Through Best Buddies we have met many wonderful people and families. We have seen firsthand the incredible work Best Buddies does. 

James is an inspiration to all of us at Teddie. He recently won the Teddie Peanut Butter Advancement Award for his hard work and cheerfulness. James makes us a better team, and we are so pleased to have him as part of the Teddie Family.

Teddie x Best Buddies Collection

With our strong relationship and personal connection to Best Buddies International, it only made sense to create some limited-edition merchandise. Do you have a buddy that you know? Or maybe you just want to help show your support. Either way, these limited-edition t-shirts and teddy bears are now available, so head to our store today!

About Best Buddies International: Best Buddies positively impacts the lives of nearly 1.3 million people with and without disabilities around the world. In many cases, as a result of their involvement with Best Buddies, people with intellectual and developmental disabilities secure rewarding jobs, live on their own, become inspirational leaders, and make lifelong friendships. 

Best Buddies Challenge – Hyannis Port, MA

For over twenty years King James Buddies has been riding in the Best Buddies Hyannis Port Challenge, raising funds to support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. However, we prefer to say, people with special abilities. The event brings communities from all over to ride, or walk, and the cause is even more amazing. No jersey? No problem, we’ll be happy to supply a pro-cycling jersey for you.

An Official Partner of the Boston Celtics & 2024 NBA Champions!

At Teddie, we recognize the important role healthy eating habits play in maximizing one’s performance – whether it be on or off the court. We’re proud to be official partners with the Boston Celtics, a team that shares our company’s commitment to tradition and quality. 

Support for the Greater Boston Food Bank

The Greater Boston Food Bank (GBFB) is the largest hunger-relief organization in New England and among the largest food banks in the country. Committed to increasing their food distribution to provide at least one meal a day to every person in need within Eastern Massachusetts, the GBFB strives to support healthy lives and communities.

Teddie Peanut Butter is proud to support GBFB and contributes to this organization with frequent peanut butter donations, time, effort and capital. Mark Hintlian also provides guidance to the GBFB through his participation on its Board of Directors.
