The Biker Elves Toy Drive was started by a bunch of caring bikers (motorcycle riders), and now is voluntarily ran by CMA’s Midnight Son Riders Chapter to help children in the Mat-Su Valley have a Christmas that they might not be able to have, unless they help Santa Clause with his deliveries to the underprivileged families with children that are in a tough spot during the Christmas season.
Christian Motorcyclists Association’s Midnight Sun Riders Chapter 801 members, along with KMBQ (Q 99.7), Denali Harley Davidson, House of Yamaha, Performance Yamaha, Team CC of Wasilla, Hartley Motors, Spenard Builders Supply of Wasilla and Palmer, Arctic Ink Tattoo, all four Three Bears of Alaska Grocery Stores in the Valley, Essential One Gas Station, Fishers Fuel and Tacos Cancun, with more organizations’ still signing up all the time, together we gather these donated Christmas toys with bins and/or donation jars, located in their shops, and take to the Toys for Tots Special Santa Program in the Mat-Su Valley for Santa’s elves to prepare for all the children on his list for Christmas!
The Drive has kicked-off officially on November 1st and goes until Christmas Eve. This is the 6th year for the Drive, and I am proud to say it has grown and helped so many people during this time - children and adults alike.
The Special Santa Program is a much needed help for people in our community, and biker elves are glad to be a part of it. It shows the true nature of Christmas - a time of giving to others - just as God did with Jesus, and we as Christians try to imitate that love by freely giving to others. Even if it’s just a toy, it has its own reward through selfless giving of love for another - the true Christmas spirit!
Thank you all for making this a special Christmas for children in the Valley! Together we make a real difference.
