Motorcycle Club raises over $3000 in annual Toy Run

The Dangerous Curves Motorcycle Club handed over one of its largest fundraising cheques to Holiday Hampers on Friday, Oct. 3.

The biker club held its 4th annual Toy Run on August 30, with just over 50 riders taking part, as well as the Prospector’s Car Club, making the trip from Quesnel to Wells.

“It was a great turnout, we raised $3200 for Holiday Hampers this year,” said Rea Charters, Community Liaison for Dangerous Curves.

“It was a successful Toy Run, we’re very happy with that, and everybody who came out and joined in with us.”

While the final toy count is still ongoing, Coral Byrd, of Holiday Hampers, says the money will go a long way in securing even more toys for families, as well as food, cleaning supplies, and other life essentials that will be distributed during Hampers’ holiday food and toy drive.

Holiday Hampers will be found in Quesnel’s West Park Mall starting in the middle of November.
