West Palm Beach recently hosted an event to collect toys for children in need.
The ‘Bill’s Bikes Memorial Toy Run’ took place on December 14 and involved participants from all over the city who came out to enjoy a ride and help out the US Marine Corps in their ‘Toys for Tots’ annual campaign.
According to the treasurer for the ride, Rexx Ford, there is a great need for this sort of offering in the community, and last year, 40,000 toys were collected. He was hoping it would do even better and see 45,000 being donated to those in need. He also noted that it provides a way for people to be involved in the wellbeing of their community.
The ride started at noon at the South Florida Fair Grounds, and from there, the participants rode 11 miles to Dreher Park. At the park, toys were collected, and people could even purchase a toy if they had forgotten to bring one along with them.
Security for the event was provided by deputies from the West Palm Beach County Sherriff’s Office. Ford related that it drew lots of people from all different walks of life who wanted to help out the cause.
A banner printing company can create a large banner for the event, along with any other decorations and printed items that may be required. They can do this at a price that makes them very affordable.
