THE 32nd Coffs Harbour Salvation Army Toy Run, hosted by the Mid North Coast NSW Harley Owners Group (HOG), is revving up for its ride on Sunday 7 December.
Open to all motorcycle models, riders and pillions, the event serves as a collection for toys, gift cards, food and cash to give as Christmas gifts for those who may not otherwise have a present to open on Christmas Day.
This annual tradition is a highlight on the local motorcycling calendar.
“Let’s help put smiles on the faces of our Coffs Coast children, teenagers and their families this Christmas by supporting our local Salvation Army in Coffs Harbour,” Mid North Coast NSW HOG Director/Secretary Justin Owens said.
“It’s been a critical year financially for a lot of the Coffs community.”
Participants meet at the start point in the main carpark of the North Beach Recreational & Bowling Club.
The club will be open at 10am for cold drinks.
At 11.30am riders depart along the route, finishing up on Jordan Esplanade on the Coffs Harbour Jetty Foreshore where the Salvation Army will provide a BBQ (gold coin donation).
This is also the Salvation Army collection point for toys, gift cards, food and money donations.
“Anyone can come along and make a donation, you don’t have to be a motorcyclist, just pop down and give what you can,” Mr Owens said.
Riders Toy Run patches ($7.00) will be available on the day from the Mid North Coast NSW HOG at North Beach Recreational & Bowling Club carpark.
