Rain or shine, calm or windy, nothing so far has stopped the Freeport to Port O’Connor Toy Run in its mission to bring boat loads of toys for Port O’Connor’s Adopt-An-Angel program any many more area children.
This will be the eighteenth year for the Toy Run.
Participants leave from Surfside Beach at 9:00 a.m. and generally arrive about 3:00 p.m. at Clark’s Marina. There they are greeted by the Adopt-An-Angel Committee, who with assistance from members of the Port O’Connor Service Club and other volunteers, load the toys into trailers to be stored until they are delivered to Adopt-An-Angel children and other children’s services in our area.
After unloading their boats, many of the Toy Run boaters, join in the Lighted Boat Parade that evening. Be sure to find a spot along the ICW Saturday evening, December 5; enjoy the Boat Parade and applaud the Toy Runners for their generosity to our community.
Boaters interested in joining the Toy Run should call 281-684-1117.
