There is no cost to participate in the ride. Instead, participants are asked to please bring cash, gift cards or new, unwrapped toys for children aged 10 or older. Gift ards and cash donations are especially helpful, as they allow staff to purchase holiday gifts personalized to the children's' needs and wishes.
All the proceeds from the Toy Run will be donated to Brightside for Families and Children.
