Operation Give a Bear has been giving away teddy bears for 13 years to underprivileged and at risk children in the Kansas City Area. Each year Kevin, Patti, and Taylor York work along side their teams of elves and Santas to provide a couple of thousand teddy bears to those that might otherwise have no Christmas at all.

This year the Yorks need a bit of a hand as they are in the process of rebuilding their house and their lives, and still want to carry on the tradition. As a small way of helping please join us for Trivia Night at Coach’s Bar and Grill on Tuesday November 13th. Coach’s will provide a dinner buffet, and a cash bar will be available. Happy hour and dinner buffet will be from 5:30 to 7:00 pm with trivia to follow.

Tickets are $50.00 and are available on Eventbrite under Charity events in Overland Park, KS. If you would rather pay at the door, please RSVP to [email protected].
