USO Fort Campbell/Nashville is teaming up with Appleton Harley Davidson for the 24th' Eagle Toy Run.' in Clarksville, Tenn., on November 9, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. The starting location is a Star-Spangled Brewing Company, 1030 Progress Dr, Clarksville, TN 37040, and ends at the Appleton Harley Davidson, 2501 Ashland City Road, U.S. 41 Alternate Bypass, Clarksville, TN 37043.
As part of the event, the public and motorcycle riders can make monetary or toy donations to the Eagle Toy Run. A few recommended items to donate include new and unwrapped toys for children and teenagers – all of which will support USO Fort Campbell/Nashville's Great Holly Jolly Holiday Event in December.
"The USO is proud to be part of this Appleton Harley tradition. 24 years is a long time to hold a successful event where our motorcycle community can gather, have fun, and support our local active-duty families. There will be live entertainment. Additionally, there will be food vendors and a silent auction," said Ann Jarvis, Executive Director, USO Fort Campbell/Nashville. "This event offers the American people the opportunity to spread some holiday cheer to military families that are in our local area and support our wonderful USO Holly Jolly Holiday Event."
Donations made through the 'Eagle Toy Run' event will be used at the local USO center on Fort Campbell during the USO Holly Jolly Holiday Event (in December) to spread Christmas cheer to our service members and their families. It also serves to connect our local communities to the families on Fort Campbell.
