The Bear Necessities Auxiliary Board is hosting our

2nd annual Teddy Bear Ball at the Lincoln Park Zoo

on September 25, 2011.

The Teddy Bear Ball provides an opportunity for children and families affected by pediatric cancer to experience a fun-filled afternoon of games, crafts, and dancing.

The Teddy Bear Ball is a complimentary event for patients and families fueled solely by your generous contributions.

Please make an investment in Bear Necessities and sponsor a family for this event with a donation of $75. If you or your company would like to help make this afternoon truly memorable, Presenting Sponsorships are also available.
