About the Ball

The Teddy Bear Ball is one of the largest charity black-tie galas in the Triangle. Taking place the first Saturday of December, the event provides sponsors, donors and guests with the opportunity to don their finest apparel and enjoy fine food and company all in the name of helping sick children.

Phylicia Rashad To Host This Year's Event
Acclaimed television, movie and Broadway actress, Phylicia Rashad, will host this year's Teddy Bear Ball. Rashad is one of the entertainment world's most extraordinary performing artists.

A versatile performer, Rashad became a household name when she portrayed “Claire Huxtable” on "The Cosby Show," a character whose appeal has earned her numerous honors and awards for over two decades.

From bringing laughter to millions of television viewers around the world, moving theatre-goers to tears, thrilling movie fans, offering new insights to students by teaching Master Classes at Howard University, Julliard, and Carnegie Mellon, serving on Boards of prestigious organizations, to breaking new ground as a director, Rashad does it all.
