Following the success of our 2009 A Bear Affair which raised over $196,000 on the night, we are pleased to announce this year’s event which will be bigger and better than ever. Under a theme of 'Escape', you’ll be treated to an evening of island fun, reflection and celebration in support of Bear Cottage.
The evening will include a three course meal, entertainment, our much loved Bear Cave, Silent Auction and of course, an exciting Live Auction. Plus we’ve got some special surprises in store to transport you away on our island adventure...
This event has been made possible through the support and sponsorship of many groups including our event sponsors Citi, Navigate Financial Group, RWA Austbrokers, Travel with Kidz, Harvey Norman and many more. We thank them all for their ongoing generosity and support.
