Oh! What a NIGHT! Thanks in large part to our fearless event chairs: Natalie & Steve Mohtashami, Brady & Dan Peters, and Leah & Ryan Rabe, BEAR reached a NEW fundraising record in 2020, with over $315,000 raised! At the famous Armadillo Palace off Kirby Dr. in West University, our guests joined us – rain or shine – to FUNdraise for BEAR! Armadillo races, live and silent auctions, cigar rolling, wine and whiskey, live music, and MORE…it was truly evening for BEAR’s record books!
