Nevada County Toy Run
Past Events & Impact
The rides end. The impact continues.
2026 — A Ride For Hope
The summer ride and community fundraiser helped support Hope for Nevada County’s back-to-school effort. NCTR directly contributed 600+ pairs of shoes, 100+ backpacks, and school supplies.
2026 Back-to-School Impact
Hope for Nevada County reported 1,200 backpacks, 1,300 pairs of shoes, 2,500 bags of groceries, and more than 3,000 attendees, plus free haircuts and community resources. NCTR’s direct contribution was part of that broader effort.
2025 — Nevada County Toy Run
More than 650 registered families represented over 2,000 children. An estimated 150–200 additional unregistered families received gifts.
2025 Community Effort
Riders brought gifts, volunteers supported family distribution, and donors and community partners helped make the holiday effort possible. Registration totals and the estimate of additional families served are reported separately.
From the Archives
In 1991, four riders came together with an idea. Roughly 90 motorcycles joined the first Toy Run. Founder Thom Staser helped organize and lead the tradition for approximately 30 years.
Help Us Preserve the History
Have old Toy Run photos, videos, patches, flyers, or stories? We would love to preserve material from riders, volunteers, families, and supporters who were there.
