We’re going wheeling for Toys, want to join us?

JonFund announces its 5th annual Toy Drive Run to take place Saturday, December 1st at our own private property, BrookRidge, to benefit the Connecticut Children's Medical Center in Hartford, CT. Connecticut Children's Medical Center is dedicated to improving the physical and emotional health of children through family-centered care, research, education and advocacy. They embrace discovery, teamwork, integrity and excellence in all that they do.

This run is open to both members and non-members who can expect a challenging trail ride on unimproved terrain while enjoying their day with the donation of a new unwrapped toy to warm the heart of a child who is undergoing medical treatment during the holiday season.

All participants will be required to sign a waiver and non-members will be required to complete a guest member application and provide proof of registration and auto liability coverage in the state where their vehicle is registered. The normal guest member fee is waived for non-members who donate a toy.

it is okay to share this announcement with non-members.

When: Saturday Dec 1st, 10:00 am

Where: Jonfund's own Private property in Mass. details will be in the final announcement.
