The Teddy Bear Run for MultiCare Auburn Medical Center – a large motorcycle ride designed to collect and bring the comfort of stuffed animals to the hospital – returns Sunday.

The South King County Chapter of Alky Angels, a group of 200-300 motorcycle riders, presents the annual ride.

Riders will gather the South King Alano Club, 1317 Harvey Road, Auburn, and depart at 12:30 p.m. for an eight-mile leisure route to deliver new stuffed animals at the hospital. Once they get to the parking lot, a drill team performs. Riders will drop their stuffed animals in collection barrels and enjoy a hosted lunch.

The stuffed animals will go to the hospital for emergency room, surgical, obstetrics and dementia departments.

Last year’s riders gathered more than 1,200 teddy bears.
