The toys are distributed throughout local hospitals during the holidays.
The event begins with the Bayville Chicken Run, a one K fun run for tots, on Nov. 14 at 9 a.m. and is followed by the Bayville Turkey Trot at 9:45 p.m. sharp.
Refreshments will be provided by the North Oyster Bay Baymen’s Association. Applications for the race are available online at bayvilleny.gov.

Please feel free to bring an extra donation of a brand new unwrapped toy for the holiday toy drive. Every toy collected will bring a smile to the faces of children struggling with illness.
