International Bear Rendezvous February 15, 2006

The International Bear Rendezvous is an annual gathering of bears and bear-lovers held in San Francisco. It is hosted by the Bears of San Francisco, who conceived of Rendezvous as a weekend of fun and fund-raising. The event fosters a sense of community among participants while at the same time raising money for agen­cies serving the gay and HIV communities at the local, state, and national level. Fund-raising is accomplished primarily through raffles, auctions, and direct donations from participants and the community. Since the first Rendezvous in 1995, the net proceeds have resulted in donations totaling over $290,000 to such organiza­tions.
