7th Annual Toys for Tots Event - This year with ADV/ DS Bikes

Recommended Posts

The organizers of this event have ask me to start spreading the word.

I am proud to say that the organizers of the " 7th Annual Toys for Tots Ride  " at Del Mar Racetrack have asked SDAR to be a part of the event this year in an effort to broaden their reach and make this event bigger and better. 

One big change this year will be the addition of another ride location. As well as the El Cajon ride to the Del Mar Racetrack, we are adding a North County ride as well. This gives much more coverage over the county and giving many more riders a chance to take part in the event.  The details of the event are being worked out. I will add the exact details as they are confirmed.  I am sure you will be seeing this around town and with much frequency in the future. 

We may need some volunteers. If you are so inclined to donate your time, please let me know.                                                 

If you think you know of a business that might want to donate, please let me know.

Please pass this along to everyone so this will be the biggest turnout they have ever had.

Hi All, we are hoping that some SDAR folks will help support this annual event which benefits kids.

Toys for Tots contacted Mike and he offered to help out, the first time they have contacted the dualsport/Adventure bike community. 

Is there anyone out there that would like to volunteer and at least donate some toys and/or dollars to help out ?

It would be greatly appreciated, for a great cause....thanks.

Please read Mike's posts above.

Hello Fellow ADV/ Dualsport riders,

                                               I was contacted by the organizers of the San Diego Toys for Tots event to help them raise their support and donations for the event. They have expanded from the Harley club to Car, Jeep, Offroad and the ADV/ Dualsport community.   The jeep club has stepped up with almost 8,000 dollars do far. So far we the ADV/ DS community has had minimal traction for both support and donations for this event.  This is disappointing. 

I committed that we as a community would be good partners in supporting this event.  To get the ball rolling and help keep that commitment I am challenging sponsors, vendors, and  ADV/ DS riders as a group to pile on to my family's donation of $1000. Our goal should be to meet or exceed what other clubs are doing. PLEASE help with support and donations that all goes to the kids.

Thank you

BUMPING THIS!

WE still need volunteers, riders, and donations.

I was asked to lead a the ride from "Ride Now" in Vista to the Del Mar track for the motorcycles that will be gathering there.  Group ride to the track to drop off their donations to Toys for Tots. I cannot as I will be dropping off and setting up at the Track. Randy cannot because of his eye surgery.  We may need someone to do this as well. 

We have not had many donations from the ADV/ DS community. PLEASE DONATE TO A GOOD CAUSE AND HELP OUT THE KIDS!

Well done fellas, although I am not able to volunteer in person, or plan to ride in big groups for delivery, I will be happy to drop off a check to KTMrad or ADV Bum this week (or mail) on behalf of SDAR for Toys for Tots (I will also toss in for the volunteer efforts and needs).  I have personally seen the joy and excitement in the eyes of the children who may not have much when they get a treat from events like this. Thanks for your efforts, it truly is appreciated..... your efforts do not go unnoticed!!

I'm going to be traveling, otherwise I would be there to help.  Have donated in the past to this organization, but haven't ever joined the ride because I am not a fan of huge rides like that. 

If you're going to be around, please take a few hours and lend a hand.  SDAR has brought all of us together, we can give back a bit!

Thank you to those that are coming forward with donations.  All donations and help are greatly appreciated.  We are getting close and the adv/ds response has still not had the impact we thought it would.  Still time to get your donations in.  I do not like to push, but it is a great cause and I need to keep this in on the radar.

I have gotten a few checks and you guys / gals are awesome!

Thanks again

Mike
