Arlington, TX

Thousands of motorcyclists will make their annual vist to the Arlington Convention Center this afternoon to deliver Christmas gifts to underprivileged children as part of the 22nd Annual Big Texas Toy Run.

Cyclists head for Arlington from downtown Fort Worth, Dallas and Grapevine bringing as many toys as they can carry. It’s a site to behold as you can see by this video from last year’s Toy Run:

Last year, more than $1 million in toys and $100,000 in cash were donated to the drive, which benefits needy children through Mental Health Mental Retardation of Tarrant County, Dallas MetroCare and other charities. 

This year they are expecting about 90,000 riders to participate in the toy drive. That’s about 25,000 more than last year. For more information, visit their website at www.thebigtexastoyrun.com.
