Hundreds of TX Bikers Bring Christmas Toys to Abused Children, Needy Families
For 28 years, motorcyclists have rolled up to Helping Hand Home to deliver gifts to our children. We could not be more grateful for these rough-and-tough men and women, who have brought so much joy to our children this holiday season. Thank you to all who weathered the storm to make the 28th annual Toy Run a huge success!
Hundreds of bikers came together from across central Texas to make sure Christmas will be extra special for children in need.
The 28th annual Austin Motorcyclists Toy Run took place Sunday despite some rainy weather, benefiting the Helping Hand Home in Austin, which helps neglected or abandoned babies.
"We could not be more grateful for these rough-and-tough men and women, who have brought so much joy to our children this holiday season. Thank you to all who weathered the storm to make the 28th annual Toy Run a huge success!" the organization wrote on Facebook.
Meantime, another similar event - the TriCounty Toy Run - was also held nearby to benefit families who may not be able to afford gifts this year.
The nearly 1,000 motorcyclists escorted a semi truck filled with 36 bicycles and 81 boxes of toys, which will be given out to kids Coryell, Bell, and Lampasas counties.
COPPERAS COVE, Texas (KWTX) The Tri-County Toy Run drew nearly 1,000 bikers and one semi-truck filled with Christmas toys for families in need Sunday afternoon.
The ride started in Temple and ended in Copperas Cove.
Each person participating in the event donated items, which were distributed to 20 local charity organizations.
These toys will then be passed out to families across Coryell, Bell, and Lampasas counties.
This year, the fundraiser collected 36 bikes and 81 boxes of toys, Tri-County Toy Run Secretary Dawn Rothermel said.
Rothermel said this event has been held in Central Texas for 24 years.
Scott and Debra Justice have participated in the toy run since 1998.
"It's not fair that they don't have a Christmas, and so that's the reason we started doing this, and it doesn't matter if it's raining or shining, because kids do not realize that just because it's raining that day, they didn't get anything," Debra Justice said. "So we come, rain, shine, sleet, snow, you name it."
Rothermel said motorcyclists come from Dallas, Houston, and even out of state to participate in the toy run.
