8th Annual

 

Making Christmas brighter for foster children for the last 8 years



 

We are pleased to announce through the generosity of past participants we will be having our 8th Annual ToyRide on Sunday December 7th 2008 at Angels Stadium in Anaheim Ca.

 

We are planning an amazing event to benefit the foster children of Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services offices (DCFS). 

ToyRide has taken on Los Angeles County DCFS.  This year ToyRide is working with multiple DCFS district offices within Los Angeles County to provide Christmas presents for the foster children.  As in years past ToyRide has made sure that each child assigned to ToyRide by the Los Angeles DCFS office received the gift they asked for.  This year we have stepped it up and ToyRide will be providing each child with two items off their wish list.  This is a daunting task for our team to make sure that each child gets exactly what they are asking for.

 This year ToyRide has teamed up with Target, Wal-Mart and Toys R Us to help us reach our goal.  We receive discounts at each of these stores to help us provide for more children.  Cash donations and gift cards are accepted in Lieu of a toy.  These donations will be used by the ToyRide staff to purchase toys specific to each foster child’s request.  If you are short on time, worried about carrying a toy on your bike or not sure what to get, cash or a gift card to one of these three locations would be greatly appreciated and quite helpful in allowing us to reach our goal of giving two requested gifts to each child.  You may also go online to our wish list and choose an item from the list. 

 Another option for gift-giving is www.amazon.com.  Click wish list and search under ToyRide.  Please bring your Amazon receipt with you to the event.  All Amazon items must be received no later than December 10th 2008 so that we may have time to wrap them for distribution at our ToyRide Holiday Parties for the foster children.  

   Vendor space is available for the December 7th event.  Please email us at info@toyride.org for all Sponsor and Volunteer requests, or for more information on upcoming events.


 

Seven years ago, when an Orange County Ca based Sportbike club set out to help a local orphanage no one realized it would turn into a huge tradition helping hundreds of kids every year. Now, known to most Sportbike riders as TOYRIDE, we host the only Sportbike charity event of its kind. Rain or shine, we ride for foster children.

 

The first few years the children at Hollygrove were well cared for by the generous donations collected at the various ToyRide events. A Christmas party for all the ToyRide recipient children was held and SANTA came in on a Sportbike of course! All proceeds after expenses benefit DCFS. For more information on DCFS, you may visit their website by clicking the DCFS link Here

In an effort to help thousands of foster children in Southern California, Cash funds will be donated to Celebration One, which awards college scholarships to students in the Independent Living and Foster programs.

 

Special thank you to the Sponsors that have been with us since our first year without you we would not be where we are today!
