Giving back to the Children of New York City

My name is Howard and I've been the face of Santa for the last 9 years! Each year we strive to bring some holiday joy to children in new York City.

Our Annual Gary R. Marano Memorial Motorcycle Toy Run is back! 2023 will be our 23nd year of supporting some of New York City's neediest families. Each year Santa and his elves deliver all the toys to the children on his Harley Davidson motorcycle. He cannot do it without your help.

Who benefits?

The families we serve are experiencing hardships due to trauma, domestic violence and poverty.

What can YOU do to join us?

Your donation helps us to purchase toys, games and gift cards for these children. Any funds left over are used to support the Preventive Services' programs.

We will need elves to go with Santa to purchase the toys. The exact details will be revealed in an update.

Santa has been working with Children's Aid since 2014 on this annual event, and all monies raised go towards the Children's Aid Preventive Services Program.

Can we count on you?
