Bears San Diego is a club for bears and bear fanciers. We are based in San Diego, California but we have members throughout the United States and even a few from overseas. Bears San Diego was established in San Diego in October 1994 when a need was recognized for a group who did not fit in with the main stream gays.
In 2003 Bears San Diego took the next step and began our journey to become a Non-Profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization. We finalized the process in the summer of 2006 when Bears San Diego got it’s final approval from the Internal Revenue Service to do business as a Non-Profit Organization.
Bears San Diego’s purpose is to bring together men of common interest on a social basis, providing events at a local bar, den night at member’s homes, outings to movies, restaurants, the zoo and parties with other Bear Clubs. These gatherings give participants the opportunity to actually meet other bears and admirers to create new friendships.

IN MEMORIAM
JERRY COLINARDMR. BEAR SAN DIEGO 1999
1954 - 2009
Jerry Colinard was our first Mr. Bear San Diego. In 1999, a contest was held and was intended as a fun event at SunBears Weekend. Jerry took on the title of Mr. Bear San Diego as a way of giving back to the community. He organized events and fundraisers and helped raise thousands for charity, often putting up his own money in the process
Jerry was a long time AIDS survivor and was an advocate for himself and others living with HIV/AIDS. On July 4th, 2009 Jerry lost the battle and passed away. Jerry will be sorely missed and will remain in our hearts forever.
