Kevin Farnsworth, Commander of American Legion Post 25, shared his thoughts on this year’s Toy Run, saying, “This is our fifth year, and the support has been incredible. The Toy Run isn’t just a ride; it’s a symbol of our community coming together to create lasting memories for children and families in need. Each toy and every dollar donated amplifies the spirit of generosity that defines who we are as a Legion family. Let’s ride for a cause and make this holiday season brighter for our local children.”
