Santa’s helpers come in all shapes and sizes and during this holiday season DFW Toys for Tots is one of many elves helping out.

This Saturday, the Collin County area will be flooded with hundreds of motorcycles as the annual DFW Toys for Tots Motorcycle Run takes place.

11 years ago this run got started courtesy of one curious biker, David Meeks, who had asked then chair Capt. Stevens if there was a toy run for the DFW area.
