UBM Toy Run Rides Its Way To Success
On Sunday, September 13th more than 14,000 motorcyclists rode to support underprivileged children in the 28th annual United Bikers of Maine Toy Run.
The Toy Run, as it’s more commonly known, draws bikers from across the state for a day of charity. Bikers begin their day at the Augusta Civic Center where they meet before riding in unison to the Windsor Fairgrounds. With toys affixed to handlebars and attached to fenders, the bikers ride one after the other, through the state capital before finishing at the fairgrounds, where the real fun begins.
Fueled by camaraderie, goodwill, and cooperative weather, bikers were treated to a day of live music, food and drink, belt sander races, and seeing who’s wearing the most eclectic outfit, all while basking in their biker glory.
The day is one to remember, but not only for those in attendance. The true beneficiaries of the Toy Run are those on the receiving end. With over 14,000 bikers donating well over that number of toys, many children throughout the state will be happy during the upcoming holiday season. In a time of need, it is generosity like that of the motorcyclists that help make it possible for many Mainers to have a happy holiday season.
The Law Offices of Joe Bornstein would like to thank those who showed their goodwill while having a goodtime. As proud supporters of motorcyclists statewide, as well as the United Bikers of Maine, we too were in attendance, donating nearly $700.00 worth of toys to the good cause. On a beautiful Sunday afternoon, it was heartwarming to see such a steadfast group of bikers, both men and women, boys and girls, come together to help others. We say you can “rev” it up to one of the many reasons that makes Maine such a special place.
So thank you bikers and thank you UBM! We hope to see you next year at the 29th annual United Bikers of Maine Toy Run.
