Bears Do Dinner
Bears Do Dinner began in July of 2013 as a group of guys in the Erie area that wanted to get together once a month outside of a bar night. Erie itself doesn't have a 'bear organization' per se, but local guys that attend various events, both locally and abroad. You don't need to use a 'bear,' 'cub,' or another label to join us for dinner. Each month we try to pick a new location around the area for a social dinner. The places we pick move around, as well as dates/times based on a group majority and establishment hours of operation.

Additionally, court advocacy programming is funding through the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency from the Rights and Services Act (RASA), Victims of Juvenile Offenders (VOJO) and the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA).
