BEAR Graduation
Our BEAR Graduation Celebration is an annual event where we celebrate youth aging out of CPS care who have received their Diploma or GED. With help from sponsors and donors we ensure that every child leaves the event with items such as laundry items, luggage, comforter sets, dorm items, microwaves and other things needed in their transitions to pursue a trade or higher education.

BEAR Back to School
BEAR’s Back to School program helps ensure that children currently under the care of Child Protective Services have the supplies and uniforms they need to go back to school each Fall. It makes a huge difference in a child’s grades when they have the basic supplies to do homework and participate in class.

Community Partnerships
BEAR relies on its surrounding community year-round to be able to successfully provide hope and help to the abused and neglected children within Harris County. From individuals to consistent corporate partnerships, it all makes a difference.
