Toy Run set Oct. 6 in Spring Valley to collect gifts for children for Christmas

Cost of participation is $15 or an unwrapped toy

Bikers made a 36-mile journey on Saturday to benefit Project Success of Eastern Bureau County. The event, spearheaded by Drew Faletti of Spring Valley, asked for new, unwrapped toys or $10 per person to be donated to Project Success, which will benefit children in grades kindergarten-eighth. Faletti said he hoped around 40 bikes would participate and to raise more money and toys than last year’s run, which raised $1,400 and 200 toys.

The eighth annual Toy Run, an all-vehicle event to gather Christmas gifts and toys for underprivileged children, is scheduled to begin at noon Sunday, Oct. 6, at Blue Collar Bikes, U.S. 6, Spring Valley.

Registration will take place through 1 p.m. and will later finish at the Spring Valley Boat Club, 13862 Route 89, Granville. There will be live music provided at the finish. The cost of participation is a new unwrapped toy or $15 a person, payable at the sign-up.
