(Fort Lauderdale, Florida) On Sunday, December 9, 2018, tens of thousands of motorcyclists and double that amount of people are expected to take part in the “31st Annual South Florida President’s Council (SFPC) Toys in the Sun Run”, the world’s largest motorcycle parade. Proceeds benefit Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital Foundation, Hollywood, Florida, and the James Jr Fund.
Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital is one of the area’s leading pediatric care hospitals, offering comprehensive health services and programs in an atmosphere that is child-friendly. An all-new facility opened in July 2011 in Broward County thanks to the support of events such as the SFPC Toys in the Sun Run, which since
adopting the hospital, has donated over $4 million to benefit the facility.
Motorcyclists will begin lining up at Festival Marketplace, 2900 W. Sample Road, Pompano Beach, FL, at 6:30am. The 26 mile parade will begin promptly at 9:30am and will be escorted by ov 250 police officers from the tri-county area, in cars and on motorcycles. Parade ends at the after-party/concert at Markham Park, 16001 W SR 84, Sunrise, FL, where each attendee will deliver their $20 + an unwrapped toy ($30 without a toy), and be entertained by Headliner, BRET MICHAELS.
