HOLLYWOOD — On Sunday, Jan. 11, the James Jr. Fund at Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital received a check for $481,000 dollars from the donations collected at the 16th Annual Christmas Toys in the Sun Run, a motorcycle ride to raise money for children.
In addition, a check for $32,275 dollars was donated by the South Florida Harley Owners Group members, bringing the total to more than $500,000 dollars. The Seminole Tribe was one of the sponsors of this event and received a plaque in recognition of its contribution to this noble clause.
Hollywood Representative Max Osceola Jr. was not able to attend the event, but Nery Mejicano accepted the plaque on behalf of the tribe. The crowd cheered as Bob Armchir presented the checks to the hospital.
The Christmas Toys in the Sun Run is the largest event of its kind in the world attracting more than 35,000 riders annually.
