The reason for differing amounts is that some specific funds are earmarked to certain groups.

The Club also collects can tabs and hotel soaps, shampoos and sundries for the Ronald McDonald House during the season. If you collect these items, you can drop them off at the Booster Club table during any Bears home game.

We are proud to be able to do these things, and we recognize the contributions of all our contributors - we couldn’t do this without you all!!
