Well Christmas in July is upon us once again! ABATE need’s donations (money, toys, coloring books, small hand held electronic games, etc for ages newborn to 19). If you want to help out, let either Laura Goggins or Jan Plummer know.

The ages of the children will be unavailable until closer to the run, so any kind of donation is welcome and appreciated.

Also, ABATE will need door prizes – so if anyone has anything they want to donate, again contact either Laura & Jan.

Also, we’re having a cook out after the run, so if anyone is willing to provide a dish as well that would also be appreciated.

We’ll probably be sorting toys again the night before the run (23rd) and getting the sleigh built, so I’m sure there would be plenty of opportunities for someone to come and volunteer. Again, just let Laura & Jan know & they’ll fill you in on the details.

Thanks & we look forward to seeing you on the run!

NOTE: For those unfamiliar with the Christmas in July event  is – it’s a “toy run” that ABATE & all the biker community do in July to bring toys to children in local area hospitals. While we ride our bikes (including Santa), we welcome automobiles for this community event. The runs goes  to the 3 major hospitals in Anchorage & the Salvation Army home near Mulcahey Stadium to see kids that are either sick or that are having a hard time and Santa gives them presents (UNWRAPPED)!  After we’re done we have a cookout, courtesy of the VietNam Vets M/C.

Here are my pictures from the event: http://www.flickr.com/photos/karlleray/sets/72157621828890725/
