Toys For Tots Motorcycle Run

Saturday, September 11th, 2010, noon

The 22nd Annual Tantramar Toys For Tots Motorcycle Run will be held on Saturday, September 11, 2010. Since 1989, the Toy Run has generated over $190,000.00 in NEW toys and aid for families at Christmas including last year when the “Toy Run”, a registered charitable organization, raised over $15,000.00 and had 1000 people attending on 750 motorcycles. We have also helped families during difficult times in their lives in 5 communities located in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, annually supporting Moncton Headstart, Sackville Christmas Cheer, Port Elgin District Voluntary Action Group, Dorchester Volunteer Association and Amherst Christmas for Kids Campaign.

Motorcyclists are asked to meet (rain or shine) 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. for the run to Dorchester, back to Sackville then onto the Tantramar Veterans Memorial Civic Centre, 182 Main Street. 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. Enter in a draw to win airfare for two provided by Air Canada Kids’ Horizons Enfrance Program.

The Toy Run will once again host a fund-raising concert (19 years & older) Saturday night at the Tantramar Veterans Memorial Civic Centre, 182 Main Street, featuring Rock & Blues Legend MATT MINGLEWOOD. Maritime Legend Sam Moon will be opening the show. Doors open at 8:00 pm and concert begins at 9:00 pm.
