The Cherokee Family Motorcycle Club, a family-oriented nonprofit group based in Jacksonville, Texas, is gearing up for its ninth annual “Jacksonville Toy Run” on Sunday, December 14, 2025, from 1 to 4 p.m. This event is a beloved community tradition aimed at collecting new, unwrapped toys to benefit local children in need, particularly through partnerships with organizations like the Cherokee Home for Children. The club emphasizes inclusivity, inviting fellow motorcycle enthusiasts, families, and the general public to join in the ride and festivities.
Event Highlights
- Registration and Start: Kick off at the Jacksonville Elks Lodge (specific address: check local listings or the club’s Facebook for updates). Entry requires a new toy donation or a $10 minimum cash contribution per participant.
- Route: A scenic group ride through Jacksonville and surrounding areas, typically 20-30 miles, ending at a distribution point for toys.
- Activities: Live music, food vendors, raffles, and kid-friendly games. Santa Claus often makes an appearance for photos.
- Purpose: All proceeds and donations go toward holiday gifts for underprivileged kids in Cherokee County and beyond. Past events have collected hundreds of toys and raised thousands in funds.
The club, founded to promote safe riding and community service, has grown the Toy Run into a staple holiday event since its inception around 2017. For more details or to RSVP, contact them at (903) 721-8169 or visit their Facebook page. If you’re in the area, it’s a great way to spread some holiday cheer on two wheels!
