West Chicago, IL, October 04, 2017 --(PR.com)-- The DuKane A.B.A.T.E. Toy and Food Run enters its 31st year on Sunday, October 8, bringing truckloads of donated toys and food that will be distributed to numerous local charities in need. Motorcyclists from northern Illinois and bordering states will gather at eight registration and collection points, all leading to a central staging area (also a registration point) in Elburn for a fully escorted parade to Batavia, led by a motorcycle-riding Santa Claus. The event maintains a Facebook page,"DuKane ABATE 31st Toy and Food Run," where the most current information and event updates are provided.
DuKane Chapter President Judy Kaenel said, “Our escorted motorcycle parade will begin leaving Elburn at 12:30 and concludes at the Batavia VFW grounds for an afternoon of music, food, and fun.” Local and state political figures and candidates are also expected to attend, including Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner, himself an A.B.A.T.E. member and avid motorcyclist.
