On the second Sunday in
December every year for the past 21 years, The Gryphon’s M/C of Ellis County has a toy run to help bring joy to
as many needy children and senior citizens of Ellis County as possible.
The Ellis County Department
of Human services, invites 75 children from the ages of 6 months to 13 years. These are families that average
3 to 4 children per household.
After arriving in a sidecar,
Santa Claus visits with each child. While sitting on his lap, each child has his/her picture taken, then escorted by
a Santa's helper to choose several toys from under the Christmas tree.
After all the children have
received their toys, they are reunited with their families and leave the Sokol. This is when the bikers get their reward! It's
time to hear some good ol' rock n roll and party among friends.
The Santa's helpers all gather
up the toys left over for the Gryphon's M/C to distribute all around Ellis County to each deserving child.
