Members of the Panhandlers Motorcycle Club and Capital City Fire/Rescue held their annual Toy Run Sunday. About 40 Juneau riders started at McGivney’s in the valley and rode through the wind and rain. They first stopped at the Triangle in downtown and then went on to the Douglas Fire Station. Riders collected bags of toys and stuffed animals from the Triangle and Louie’s in Douglas.
Panhandlers MC Treasurer “Brillo” Chitty says children who stay at Bartlett Regional Hospital will be able to pick a toy as a comfort item. Police cruisers and fire engines will also get a stuffed item to hand out to children involved in emergencies.
The Toy Run wrapped up on Sunday with a barbecue at the Douglas fire station. The toys will be delivered to Bartlett Regional Hospital on Wednesday.
