On November 10th, the sound of revving motorcycles traveled across the Totally Kids parking lot as hundreds of bikers gathered for the 28th annual “One More from the Heart” Bike Run. Bikers traveled from all over southern California to meet and donate gifts to our residents. Throughout the year, different motorcycle clubs fundraised for our residents. A variety of gifts were donated, such as money to go towards our outdoor musical instruments, a Nintendo Switch, toys, clothing, gift cards, batteries, coloring books, movies, electronics, art supplies, and many other items. We were overwhelmed and grateful by the generosity showed to our residents.
During the event, bikers filled the multi-purpose rooms to meet the residents and staff. Bikers interacted with the early intervention residents by playing blocks, coloring, and reading books. In multi-purpose room two, bikers engaged in conversation and participated in activities with our social recreation group. Bikers also gathered outside to enjoy refreshments and meet the dedicated staff.
We are so thankful for all the bikers and their dedication each year to provide so many wonderful items for our residents. What\’s more, we are thankful for the time they spend getting to know the residents and staff. Thank you to all the bikers who came out and participated in the annual “One More from the Heart” Bike Run. We greatly appreciate everything you all do for the residents here at Totally Kids.
