In collaboration with Weston Airport and European Prestige Cars Ireland, the event was both a celebration and a demonstration of the generosity of Ireland's car scene.

Drivers brought gifts from collection points across the country, with participants coming from as far as West Cork, Kerry, Waterford, Limerick, and Newry, with loads of new toys, collected over the past couple of weeks.

The nature of the run was such that the group teamed up with businesses to set up convenient drop-off points and the toys collected were brand new to ensure maximum joy for the children who receive them.
