Daycare holds trike-a-thon to benefit St. Jude’s
NORWICH – Community members are welcome to take part in the effort to save lives by participating in a local fundraiser to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
Cassie and Robert Clipston, local Tykes-N-Tots Daycare owners, are sponsoring a St. Jude Trike-A-Thon from 1 to 4 p.m. April 20 at 10 Griffin St. in Norwich.
Funds raised will go to the internationally recognized hospital St. Jude, a hospital with an ongoing fight against childhood catastrophic diseases.
Trike-A-Thon is designed to expose pre-schoolers to using riding toys safely through a week-long fun activity and provides a parent awareness program, involving parents in safe behavior practices to help ensure their child’s well-being. Cassie says she will be discussing the importance of outdoor, tricycle and bicycle safety with the children all week before the event. She says she has activities to engage the smaller kids so they too will understand the importance of being safe when they are outside.
“We are trying to teach the kids safety and also teach them all about the importance of working together to help out the community,” said Cassie.
The age limit is five years old, and the public is welcome to attend. Parents and children attending can start getting sponsors now and are advised to bring their own tricycle to the event. For more information, to place a sponsor or to sign up call Cassie or Robert at 336-1165.
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is internationally recognized for its pioneering work in finding cures and saving children with cancer and other diseases. Founded by the late entertainer, Danny Thomas, and based in Memphis, Tenn., St. Jude freely shares its discoveries with scientific and medical communities around the world. No family ever pays for treatment not covered by insurance, and families without insurance are never asked to pay. St. Jude is financially supported by ALSAC; its fund raising organization and through events such as a Trike-A-Thon.
