CBS Los Angeles has a nice video and write-up of our 20th Annual CHOC Toy Ride. It is awesome to give toys to these kids during this time of the year, and it is even more awesome to realize we gave so many toys that it allows the staff at CHOC to pass out toys throughout the year to help make the kid’s stay a bit more bearable.
Our very own Rob Vandal put together a really nice video of the bikes coming across the front entrance to the hospital, shown below. It really puts you in the Christmas spirit.
In addition to the pictures posted Sunday, there are even more pics of the CHOC event at the smugmug site. Enjoy!
Here are some of the pics from the event this morning, along with Santa, his sleigh (also known as a Mini Cooper named Victor), and a few pics of about 20-25 volunteers that took almost half an hour to unload all of the toys – that is how many there were thanks to your generous donations.
Coming up soon is the 20th annual ride to CHOC Hospital. The registration is at the Orange County Harley-Davidson dealership at 8am on Sunday, December 21. The ride begins at 9am. Show up early. We are expecting over 1,000 riders, spectators, and volunteers! You can see more info in the flyer. Email it to friends that ride or print it off and pass it around. The flyer also has info if you want to become a sponsor and what the various levels of donations give you.
