PURPOSE
We aim to benefit the Mid-Missouri LGBT community by being charitable, organizing events, and working to break down barriers between LGBT sub-groups as well as between the LGBT community and the rest of the population.
DONATIONS
Donations and money received by the Column Bears go to benefit not only our members with social gatherings, but also to other organizations that wouldn’t exist without generous donations from ordinary people in our community.
EVENTS
Column Bear events include gatherings such as bowling, dinners, coffeehouse visits, and movies. In addition to these gatherings, we organize larger events periodically to foster community and raise funds for our organization.
BROTHERHOOD
The Column Bears are working hard to build a sense of community in Central Missouri and interface with other Bear groups across the world. We value communication and connections as we strive to break down barriers between groups.
