Crowdfunding campaign raises money for the late manager of Disneyland Club 33

A crowdfunding campaign has been launched for the family of Bonnye Lear, a manager of Club 33 who died after falling from a golf cart backstage at the Disneyland Resort.

Sara Linton organized the GoFundMe campaign on behalf of the Lear family. Linton stated, “Due to the unfortunate circumstances the Lear family has faced, they are seeking funds for all of the costs associated with remedying this tragic accident, including cremation, memorial services, a strong legal team to seek justice for her death, and any other unexpected costs. Bonnye’s three children have faced unimaginable hurdles and could use a lot of support during these difficult times.”

“Bonnye Lear was known for her kind, gentle soul and loving personality,” Linton wrote. “She lit up a room with an unmatched level of professionalism. She was a firework, spreading her light to all around her with enthusiasm and grace.

Lear fell from a golf cart backstage at Critter Country at the Disneyland Resort on June 5. She was seriously injured and taken to a hospital, where she died on June 7.

Ken Potrock, president of Disneyland Resort, said, “We are deeply saddened by the loss of Bonnye and extend our sincere condolences to everyone who cared for her. Right now, our focus is on supporting her family and our staff through this tragic event and making sure they have the resources they need.”

Lear was the Senior Guest Services Manager at Club 33, a private VIP lounge in New Orleans Square at Disneyland. She had worked at the Disneyland Resort for 24 years in guest services, special activities and travel.

The Anaheim Police Department and Cal/OSHA are still investigating Lear’s death.
