Boswell’s 15th Annual Toy Parade, a significant fundraising event for the Metropolitan Police Department’s Christmas Basket Program benefiting needy Nashvillians, is set for this Saturday, November 7th, and motorcycle enthusiasts from across Middle Tennessee are invited to take part.
Motorcycle riders can begin lining up in Centennial Park at 10 a.m. Saturday for the 1 p.m. fun ride to Boswell’s Fesslers Lane store, where a large outdoor cookout will await.
“Middle Tennessee is loaded with great and caring motorcycle riders, and this shows the community how we consistently contribute to a very needy cause,” said Bubba Boswell, President of Boswell’s Harley-Davidson, who noted that more than $150,000 has been raised over the past five years. “I join with the police department in thanking the Music City and Rivergate Chapters of the Harley Owners Group for caring so deeply about Nashville’s less fortunate,” Boswell said.
Participating riders are asked to bring a new toy and/or make a cash donation. The money and toys will be used to support the police department’s annual Christmas Basket Program, now in its 48th year, through which police officers deliver food and toys to needy Nashvillians on Christmas Eve morning. Hundreds of men, women and children comprising more than 200 underprivileged families will receive surprise gifts of food and toys this year.
All riders and brands of motorcycles are welcome to take part in the Toy Parade.
