Family host Bears Bash party for Park Lawn

Sept. 21, 2011 - PRLog -- Donean Masokas is one of many people with intellectual and developmental disabilities who benefit from Park Lawn’s vocational and residential programs. Donean’s family is hosting a “Bears Bash Game and Party” fundraiser on Sunday, October 2, at Sullivans Irish Pub & Eatery, 4660 W. 147th Street in Midlothian from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Proceeds will benefit Donean and her friends at Park Lawn. Everyone over the age of 21 is invited to root for the Chicago Bears as they battle against the Carolina Panthers.

Donean is viewed by her family as the sweetest and kindest sibling. She is an avid music listener, who loves to sing and dance. She is a big Chicago sports fan for the Bears, Cubs and Blackhawks. Growing up in a family with seven siblings, Donean has been watching her favorite sports teams since she was a toddler.

“Donean brings a smile to the face of everyone she meets,” her sister Paula said. “She is constantly asking if the Bears and the Cubs won.”

Tickets are $37.00 and include a four hour open bar from 12-4 p.m. that will include domestic draft and bottles, $2.50 for imported bottles. Food will be provided at half time along with raffles, a silent auction and other activities.
