BACA is all over the place (I'm in Florida, USA) and from the super-limited outside view I've had, they seem pretty frickin cool! An old co-worker's dad was a member and I remember him doing some of the stuff you mentioned: toys-for-tots runs, sitting in at courthouse cases, visiting kids in hospitals, etc.
Back in the day, my dad was in a Firefighter's Club and they did the same thing with having the sportbike guys blast ahead to block off the intersections during big runs flippin' awesome
