BEAR...BE A Resource for CPS Kids, Harris County, Texas

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.

Luncheon
BEAR’s largest annual fundraiser is the BEAR the Load with Love Luncheon. This year's event took place on April 18, 2018 at the River Oaks Country Club, and was one to remember! Our luncheon chairs planned a great event that once again embodied the 'spirit of JEANerosity,' but with a fresh, funky twist. Thank you for those that attended. Please keep an eye out for more information regarding next year's event!

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.

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.
