Fur, Fun and Fundraising

 

 

An important part of Bear Camp is giving back to our community. Last year we raised $10,000 for Project Open Hand. This organization is dedicated to meeting the nutritional needs of men, women and children living with HIV. They deliver meals to clients with limited transportation, provide nutritional counseling and education and operate a food pantry for area residents.
