The BEAR'ly Open Golf on Ice and Community Dance is gearing up for our 19th year! Based on the purchasing power of the Food Shelf the event has raised enough money to purchase just short of $3 million worth of food for our neighbors in need. This is an exciting year as we will surpass that $3 million level.
Some of the ways you can contribute and make a difference are:
- Become a sponsor (sponsor pdf click here)
- Attend the Dance and/or Golf Event (put Feb. 6 & 7 on your calendar)
- Contribute to the Online Auction in February
- Volunteer on the Committee
- Volunteer to help at the Dance or at the Golf Event
- Help promote the event in the Community (put up posters and flyers)
