SPECIAL THANKS TO ALL VANCOUVER TOY RUN PARTICIPANTS!
The B.C. Coalition of Motorcyclists and the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau would like to thank all of the wonderful volunteers, sponsors and riders who came together to support the 30th Annual Vancouver Toy Run on October 5th.
The Toy Run raises much needed toys and funds to provide underprivileged families assistance at Christmas time. This event is one of the most important toy raising events in the Lower Mainland and it directly supports ten local Christmas Bureaus. This year we lucked out with a beautiful sunny day and the ride raised over 4,000 toys and $21,000 in monetary donations with an estimated 5-7,000 people in participating.
The ride left Coquitlam Centre at 10:00 am and proceeded full parade style through Coquitlam, Port Moody, and Burnaby to Vancouver where it ended at the PNE grounds. In celebration of the Vancouver Toy Run's 30 years of serving the community, the British Columbia Motorcycle Drill Team, sponsored by Megson Fitzpatrick, Motorcycle insurance specialists, gave a special performance at the Coquitlam Centre parking lot before the ride left.
If you're were not able to attend the ride but would still like to support this great cause, toy and monetary donations can be mailed to or dropped off at the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau's new office at: 3rd floor, 1870 Pandora St, Vancouver, BC, V5L 1M5
All in all it was a very successful day and we are so thankful for the outstanding support we received from everyone. We will be doing it all again on Sunday, October 4, 2009, so please mark your calendars! Ride details will be updated here: http://www.toyrun.lmcb.ca/
