Payments
Got a payment that you need to make to BOSF?

Here is where you can do that. This form is for making payments to BOSF for merchandise or money owed for an auction or whatever other reason.


It is not for an upgrade to an event registration or add ons of activities. You can do that directly inside of the registration form you already filled out. Just go back to the registration for that event and edit your registration, it will automatically recalcute the difference.

The form can handle anything that is not directly related to an event. Just assign a quantity to the various denominations of money to equal the total amount, then select if the funds are going to BOSF or IBR, and then put the comments regarding the payment in the "Purpose" field.

We accept Visa and MasterCard. Checks can be sent to our mailing address:

Bears of San Francisco
584 Castro St #266
San Francisco, CA 94114

Be sure to include the name of the person the payment is for if it is not you and the specifics about the payment (i.e. BOSF Club Shirt, Money owed for an aution item, etc.).
