Bears Bash Game & Party Hosted by the Masokas Family for Park Lawn

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.
