SUMMARY: This weekend’s Asgard Toy Run is set to bring joy to families during the Christmas season. With the help of Vice President Ray of Asgard, the event is in its 39th annual iteration, gathering unwrapped toys, clothing, cash donations, and much more. All donations are directed to the K.C. Hall of Columbus and remain local to benefit the coastal community. Motorcyclists will ride to different locations to collect toys, meeting at Home Depot with police escorts for a massive, festive convoy. This illustrates the Asgard Club’s commitment to community aid and marks a seasonal event that’s much anticipated each year.
