On October 3, 2010 the Toy Run Foundation will be hosting its annual motorcycle toy run. Registration begins at 10:30 a.m. at the Southern Regional High School parking lot, Route 9 Manahawkin, NJ. Bring a Toy ($10 value) plus $10.00 per person to register. A Commemorative Pin will be given to the first 800 registered participants. Run leaves at 12:30 p.m. traveling a 65-mile scenic route through the Pines, ending at St. Mary's Parish Center, Manahawkin, for food and drinks. Police Motorcycle Units from Monmouth, Ocean, Atlantic and Burlington Counties will escort the run. Please leave toys unwrapped and no stuffed toys / animals.
The Toy Run Foundation gave out toys to families from Forked River, Waretown, Barnegat, Manahawkin, Cedar Run, Mayetta, Tuckerton and Long Beach Island. Some of the left over toys were brought to the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, Family Protection Unit, which is the lead law enforcement agency that investigates crimes involving neglected and abused kids. We also brought toys to Operation Santa Claus in Fort Dix, which is the organization that distributes toys to the children of deployed soldiers. We visited Community Medical Center, Toms River with Santa and Mrs. Claus. They handed toys to the kids in the pediatric ward, emergency room and minor treatment.
This is the Tenth Year that we are hosting the Toy Run! Please come and be a part of this charitable event. Non motorcycle riders who wish to make a donation or drop off a toy are also welcome to stop by or can contact us directly.
