Now in its ninth year, the Toy Ride charity continues to grow and provide more support for Southern California's underprivileged kids. This year's event pulled in over $10,000 along with hundreds of toys to make Christmas a little bit brighter for some 1,600 foster children.

Over 1,000 riders showed up to take part in the 30-mile ride from Anaheim's Angels Stadium to the Queen Mary in Long Beach. The sunny and warm SoCal weather might not seem like a place Santa would try to chill, but sleighs of another sort brought holiday cheer with them. Gear vendors, food tents and stunt exhibitions were the support entertainment, while on-stage contests and raffles kept the crowd going.
No sportbike venue is complete without some stuntin' though, and this year the amateurs got to show the pros that they can mix it up on one wheel too.
Next year marks the tenth anniversary of Toy Ride and organizers are already preparing for the largest event yet. For more information and to donate, visit www.toyride.org
