San Diego Downtown Condo and Loft home owners, residents, small businesses, the Navy, The Coast Guard, the Police Enforcement in San Diego has all opened up their hearts by donating thousands of stuffed animals in different shapes and colors through the years to participate in the annual San Diego Law Enforcement Teddy Bear Drive. For the last 19 years this has been a huge thing to do to help children at the Rady Children Hospital. Coronado Police Officer Brian Hardy started the tradition in December 1990 when he realized the donation bin at the hospital was empty and he donated 12 Teddy Bears.
