Chatham Goodfellows is on the receiving end of a nearly $2,700 donation from a local group of motorcycle riders.
The Chatham-Kent HOG's first annual toy ride kicked off the No Child Without A Christmas campaign by donating $2,175 and about $500 in new toys.
"The turnout was a little overwhelming for us," said Chatham-Kent HOG Assistant Director Bill Hudson. "We never expected what we got. As a group, we were hoping to have 20 to 35 bikes show up."
Around 70 bikes rolled into Chatham-Kent for the fundraising event on Saturday.
"Our chapter was absolutely flabbergasted by the turnout," said Hudson. "We were amazed."
In order for bikers to ride the route, a donation of $20 or a new toy was needed.
The event started at the Tim Hortons on Bloomfield Road in Chatham before riders took off for a ride through the community, ending at Sons of Kent.
Hudson said the local HOG group has already begun planning next year's ride after Saturday's turnout.
While a date has not been set for next year's event Hudson said it is something the group is going to continue doing.
