ToyRide Dec 13

This isn't for another couple months, but I wanted to throw it up early for those who want to plan ahead. It's a great organization and event for kids who otherwise wouldn't have a christmas. Altho the ride takes place in OC, the proceeds go to Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services.

Hope to see you there.

We are pleased to announce through the generosity of past participants we will be having our 9th Annual ToyRide© on Sunday December 13th 2009 at Angels Stadium in Anaheim Ca.

Anyone who pre-registered for the 2009 ToyRide will be entered into a drawing for a $300.00 Gas Rebate Card. This is a WIN WIN situation. Here is your opportunity to help make Christmas brighter for the Foster Children in Southern California and GET FREE GAS! If you are unable to attend the 2009 ToyRide you can still pre-register to win drawing prizes. There will be a drawing each week of pre-registration. Winner will be contacted via email and announced on our Website.

Now We Throw Down A Challenge
Each year we have groups and participants who raise the bar and collect donations within their network to make a donation to ToyRide. This year there will be a little contest for the person who collects the most donations (Cash and/or Toys). Should the top winner be a group, each group member’s name will be placed into a drawing for the vacation.

The top fundraiser will receive:
An “ALL INCLUSIVE” 4 DAY/ 3 NIGHT EXOTIC VACATION. WINNER will have their choice of destination in Mexico, Puerto Rico, or Dominican Republic. Airfare is not included but everything else is INCLUDING ALCOHOL!!!! Should you need sponsor forms to assist with your donation requests please email us at info@toyride.org.

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.

Advanstar has teamed up with ToyRide© for the Long Beach Motorcycle Show

Bring an unwrapped toyo the show for a discount

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 16th 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 14th event. Please email us at info@toyride.org for all Sponsor and Volunteer requests, or for more information on upcoming events.
