Saturday, September 12th, 2009, 1:00 pm

The 21st Annual Tanramar Toys For Tots Motorcycle Run will be held on Saturday, September 12, 2009. Since 1989, the Toy Run has generated over $175,000.00 in NEW toys and financial aid for families at Christmas including last year when the "Toy Run" a registered, non-profit charitable organization, raised over $15,000.00 and had 1000 people attending on 650 motorcycles.

The 2009 Toy Run is dedicated to MIKE WHEATON, long time participant and supporter of the Toy Run, who passed away earlier this year. Rest in Peace Mike! We miss you!

Motorcyclists are asked to meet between noon and 1:00 p.m. in the McDonalds Restaurant parking lot in Sackville, N. B. A free quarter pound burger will be generously provided by Danny Moore, owner/operator of McDonalds for each participant and bikers will "head out on the road" at 2:00 p.m. This year 10% of all cash donations will be donated to Ronald McDonald House Atlantic Canada.

Participants are asked to bring a NEW TOY or a cash donation and official tax receipts are available on site. Awards for Long Distance Rider, Oldest Biker, Oldest Bike, etc. will be given out after the bikes are parked at the Veteran's Memorial Civic Centre in Sackville. Toy Run hats, pins, t-shirts and other merchandise will be available for purchase. Motorcycle stunt team Hub City Stunters (formerly Production - X) will once again thrill the crowd outside of the Civic Centre.

At press time, the Toy Run Committee was busy putting last minute touches on the run, which will again feature a fund-raising concert with Matt Minglewood & Band. Opening for Matt is The Streamliners.
