(Fort
Lauderdale, Florida) On Sunday, December 9, 2012, more
than 30,000 motorcyclists and double that amount of people
are expected to take part in the “25th Annual South Florida President’s
Council (SFPC) Toys in the Sun Run” presented by
the Mardi Gras Casino. Proceeds benefit
the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital Foundation, Hollywood, Florida. 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 raised over $12.5 million to benefit
the facility.
Motorcyclists will lineup at 7:00am and starting at 9:45am,
the World’s
Largest Motorcycle parade will leave Mardi Gras Casino, escorted
by over 250 police officers in cars and on motorcycles from
the tri-county area. The run ends at Markham Park in Sunrise.
Some of the other events at Markham Park will be non-stop
live music on two stages, a huge motorcycle show, over 100
vendors, an international food court, cold beer, and soft
drinks. In addition, there will be an open car and truck
show which has been dubbed South Florida’s “Most Unique Winter Car Show”.
Sponsored by Cruisers of South Florida, all proceeds of this event also benefit
the children’s hospital. Entry into the event is only
$10 plus 1 new unwrapped toy or gift per person ($20 entry
fee without a toy). VIP spots are also available for those
who want to be at the front of the line. Check out the website
