Panhandlers host 22nd annual Toy Run for BRH

Once again, the Panhandlers Motorcycle Club is gearing up to resupply Bartlett Regional Hospital with a bin of stuffed toys for young patients.

On Sunday, Aug. 21, bikers are asked to lineup for the Toy Run in the Donna’s Restaurant parking lot for a 1 p.m. departure, destination Douglas Fire Hall. Participants can also make their own way to meet the Panhandlers in Douglas for ribs and pulled pork sandwiches, 2-4 p.m. All bikes and bikers, friends and families and Toy Run supporters are welcome.

To participate, bring one, new stuffed toy worth $10 or more, or a cash donation, minimum $10 per person. Stuffed toys may also be donated downtown at the Triangle Club and at Louie’s Douglas Inn and Bar. All stuffed toys will be donated to Bartlett Regional Hospital.
