During the recent 10th Annual Madison County Toy Run, the community in Jackson, Tenn., came together to deliver smiles and support to children at Le Bonheur's Jackson Outpatient Center.

Thanks to the generosity of donors and the spirited riders from Bumpus Harley-Davidson of Jackson, TN every child who walks through our doors receives a toy from our treasure chest — a small gesture that makes a big difference.

“It is phenomenal! Every child that comes through these doors receives a toy, and they see thousands of children a year. So, these toys go a long way and it takes a lot of toys to meet the needs of the kids. You can imagine them being scared or frightened when they come in they get to go to the treasure chest, and pick out a toy and just to put a smile on their faces, you know it does your heart good,” said Jimmy Sadler of Bumpus Harley-Davidson.

Thank you to our partners in Jackson for continuing to raise awareness and give back to the community in a powerful way.
