The Red Sleigh Toy Run delivers toys to the doors of children and their families on motorcycles.
Start your engines because the 11th annual Red Sleigh Toy Run will take place on Saturday, Dec. 1 at 9 a.m.

The run, which thankfully doesn't involve any actual running, will take place at S & S Motorsports and registration is from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m.

At the end of the run, lunch will be served at Lindy’s where winners will be drawn for the 50/50 raffle and other prizes.

The ride costs $25 per rider and $5 per passenger including lunch. Bring a new, unwrapped toy for the sled.

For over a decade, the Red Sleigh Toy Run has teamed up with local businesses, school districts, community members and bikers to bring Christmas to Tucson children in their time of need. They are a non-profit 501c3 organization that delivers toys and other essentials to the doors of children and their families on motorcycles. Bike riders of all ages are welcome to join and change a life this holiday season.

One Dec. 15, they will be hosting another Toy Run to the children of Patagonia. Bring an unwrapped toy and the ride is free.

Sponsors include S & S Motorsports, Lindy’s, Saguaro Desert Landscaping LLC., Arizona Awards and Engraving, American Legion, Tucson Rough Riders and Lawler Team NOVA Home Loans.

The gifts collected will be distributed to more than 1,000 children in Tucson.
