Nevada County Food and Toy Run 20th Anniversary!

Nevada County Food and Toy Run 2011

Four motorcyclists wondered what could be done to help families in need during the upcoming holiday season.  They came up with an interesting idea and within a few weeks created an event.

The first event was the birth of the Nevada County Food & Toy Run and drew 90 bikers.  A responsive cord was struck with the Sierra Foothill communities of Nevada City and Grass Valley and today, the Food & Toy Run feeds hundreds of local families in need during the Christmas holiday.

Every second Saturday in December – rain, snow or shine – hundreds of spectators line the route to watch motorcyclists  (a record was set in 2009 with over 1,800!) rumble through the towns of Nevada City and Grass Valley on their way to the Nevada County Fairgrounds.   There,  hundreds of children and their families await in anticipation.

Every family in need receives a turkey or ham and donated foods to take home for the Holidays. Each child receives at least 3 toys and everyone celebrates with food vendors, raffle prizes and maybe a visit with Santa.

Each year the Nevada County Food & Toy Run feeds hundreds of local families and provides toys for kids who may otherwise receive none.

Benefactors

The Nevada County Food & Toy Run benefits many families and children directly during our annual bike run in December.

• Headstart
• Big Brothers & Big Sisters

The Nevada County Food & Toy Run is both a 501 (c) 3 non-profit charitable organization and an event.

Throwbacks Thursday June Report

Had a killer turnout of 80+ bikes and riders from all over enjoy an evening of swapping stories and showing class.

Sarah Butcher Photography was present, in support of Throwbacks' friend Karl Lanquist and his most recent bout with heart failure. Still recovering at U.C. Davis Medical Center following his second pacemaker replacement surgery, Karl is a local character whose own skills with a camera and quick wit are well known. S.B. Photo was out selling some of Karl's handiwork in the form of photos of bikes from past Throwbacks events, as well as "Have a Heart" red ribbons, 100% of the proceeds taken as contributions towards Karl's mounting medical bills. Look for S.B. Photo's booth at upcoming events around the Grass Valley area, and show your support for one of Nevada County's purest characters in his time of need.

Here's a smattering of the crappy photos I took, the best way to experience a TT is to see it for yourself!

Read about it in the Union newspaper:

Saturday Scoot Report
