Hundreds of bears were parachuted from the rafters at the Magic’s March 29 game against the Brooklyn Nets with a note telling fans that they could take the bear home or write a message on the tag and donate it to a patient at the children’s hospital.

Each bear will include an inspiring note or good wishes from a Magic fan to one of the young patients at the hospital.

One Stop Cooling and Heating donated 200 teddy bears to the hospital, Magic officials said.
