Lone Star Charitable Foundation runs the Wise County Toy Run, an annual December event that gets toys, school supplies and clothes to struggling families for Christmas. They came to us through a referral, and we've been proud to be part of it ever since.
The Toy Run itself is something to see. Hundreds of motorcycles and hundreds of Jeeps make a 30-mile-plus ride around Decatur, with a police escort so they never stop for a red light. Last year I set up on a corner to film it, and it took over 10 minutes for everybody to pass. Not one stop sign in sight.
The ride is just the start. The whole day turns into a festival at the Wise County Fairgrounds, with bounce houses, face painting, food vendors, auctions and live music.
The Toy Run is their biggest event, but the Foundation works all year. They raise money year-round to put on the show and to help folks in need throughout the year. We handle their website, social media and video, so more people hear about the good they're doing.
