The 22nd annual Buck Jones Memorial Toy Run collected more than a thousand toys Sunday, officials said. The event, organized by Bikers Dream of Atlanta, helps organizations provide Christmas presents for children in need. Motorcycle riders brought at least three unwrapped toys, one for each stop along the ride — Cumming, Dawsonville and Dahlonega.
