Events

We are grateful to everyone who attended and supported our Valentine's Gala at historic Mechanics Hall on February 9, 2008, as well as our previous five Valentine's Galas.  Your support gave us the momentum to continue our efforts, and together we raised over $800,000 for lifesaving research and treatments. We know that Tara would be so proud.

We have postponed our inaugural "Gala of Giving" on November 14, 2009 due in part to the economy.  Please check back on our website in the future for announcements of future events, and be sure to join the Tara Bean Foundation on FACEBOOK.

Here is a link to some of the lovely photos from our 2007 & 2008 Galas.
