The Dallas Bears’ Texas Bear Round-Up began circa 1995 with a hand full of Dallas Bears members coordinating their first event. The event was attended mostly by the Bear community in Texas. A small event with lots of Fun, Fur and Frolic. Each year TBRU has grown in numbers and in purpose. Once a small friendly bear, TBRU has grown into a large Bear family reunion and fundraiser.

​TBRU 7 began a robust growth period. The Dallas Bears have continuously evolved TBRU.  TBRU is a party with a purpose. Their international Bear family comes together in Dallas every third weekend in March. It has commonly been called a Big Bear Reunion – a time you see your Bear friends from all over the world. It is always fun to see some many familiar faces and to meet new ones. TBRU feeds the souls, but it also does a lot of good work in the community. Each year the Dallas Bears and BearDance donate the profits to three Dallas charitable 501c3 beneficiaries. The members of the Dallas Bears, and friends, work diligently all year long to produce a fun event and to raise as much money as possible for our charities. In 2019 at TBRU 25, the Dallas Bears and BearDance donated almost $80,000, which wouldn’t be possible without all the guests at TBRU and BearDance.
