2024 Toy Run
UPDATE 8/8/2024
Planning continues for the Toy Run on August 10th, just two days from today!
The storm reports indicate that it will not be as severe on Saturday for Vermont, tapering off and allowing us to hold this event! Safety is our most pressing concern. In case of local flash flooding or other hazards, we do have a plan to make a more direct route to the Capitol if necessary
UMV’s 38th Annual Toy Run to support the kids at Shriners Hospitals for Children is always held rain-or-shine on the second Saturday of August. This is one of the Shriner’s biggest fundraisers for the Children’s Hospitals for Children. It is NOT just a ride, Toys and funds donated here, and throughout the year, allow the hospitals to deliver necessary treatments to children, regardless of the family’s ability to pay.
