The Panhandlers Motorcycle Club has their annual Toy Run this weekend. It’s a benefit to round up toys for children at Bartlett Regional Hospital.
“People around the community have helped us so much. With open arms, they welcome the Toy Run, says Craig Fowler, president of the Panhandlers. “If you have a kid that goes into the hospital or in an ambulance and has any kind of fear, they say “What do you like? You like Barney? You like dinosaurs?” We always stockpile them every year.”
The toy run starts Sunday at 1 p.m. with the motorcycle line-up at McGivney’s and will proceed to the Douglas Fire Hall. There, ribs and pulled pork sandwiches will be served up from 2 to 4 p.m.
You can participate by donating a new stuffed toy worth at least $10 or make an equivalent cash donation.
Stuffed toys can also be dropped off at Louie’s in Douglas or the Triangle in downtown Juneau.
