Nashville, TENN. – For the fifth year, the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office and U.S. Marine Corps are partnering for a motorcycle run to benefit the Toys for Tots program.  Registration is scheduled to begin, rain or shine, Saturday from LP Field, Lot “N,” at 9:30 a.m. with the parade route starting at 11 a.m.  Coffee and donuts provided in the morning and lunch provided upon conclusion of ride.  All it takes is $10 and a new, unwrapped toy per person.

“We are excited to invite everyone out, once again, to participate in our motorcycle run.  It may be a little difficult for people to start thinking about Christmas in September, but what we do this weekend will help so many kids when the holidays roll around in just three short months,” Davidson County Sheriff Daron Hall said. “Even if you don’t ride, come join us and bring an unwrapped toy.”

Over the past four years, DCSO’s partnership with the program has brought in 3,000 toys and almost $20,000.  In its 63-year history, the Toys for Tots program nationwide has provided over 400 million toys to nearly 200 million children.
