San Diego Gulls News Release
SAN DIEGO â The San Diego Gulls will be hosting their fifth annual "Teddy Bear Toss" at this Sunday's game against the defending Kelly Cup Champion Idaho Steelheads. This year's event is brought to you by The Window Factory.
After the Gulls score their first goal of the game, fans are asked to throw an unwrapped stuffed toy onto the ice. The toys will then be collected by the National City Law Enforcement Teddy Bear Toss Committee and donated to Children's Hospital and Health Center of San Diego County.
Since Children's Hospital first opened its doors in 1954, their mission has been "to restore, sustain and enhance the health and developmental potential of children."
As the San Diego region's only designated pediatric trauma center and the only area hospital dedicated solely to pediatric care, Children's Hospital is helping San Diego prepare for the 21st century. Their goal is to help create a region where all children go to school healthy and ready to learn how to be productive, responsible citizens.
In addition to caring for children at its main campus in Kearny Mesa, Calif. Children's Hospital has 15 neighborhood centers offering primary care and specialized services. Children's Hospital is also active in numerous community outreach programs, including health education, early intervention and counseling, child abuse prevention and child safety issues.
Sunday's game, which begins at 5:05 p.m. is also a "Kids Night" and "Skate with the Gulls" will immediately follow. Kids 14 and under can receive a $5 discount on tickets (excluding center ice seats).
The Gulls also host the Steelheads on Friday and Saturday nights, with both games starting at 7:05 p.m. The first 5,000 fans at Friday's game will receive a Gulls beanie hat. The first 6,000 fans at Saturday's game will get a Gulls baseball cap.
All games can be heard live on KLSD 1360AM and www.sandiegogulls.com with Chris Ello calling the play-by-play.
