This fall’s St. Jude Trike-A-Thon at Emmanuel Baptist Church raised $2,914.30 for the Memphis-based children’s hospital.
Jessica Harp, assistant director for Emmanuel Baptist Preschool, said, concerning the 35th annual event, “We had a great day for our Trike-A-Thon. The children enjoyed riding their bikes, and we are so thankful for the many parents who were able to join us.”
St. Jude Trike-A-Thons are an enjoyable and educational way to teach preschoolers and their educators how to make a difference for St. Jude children, said Jennifer Patterson, president of the Zeta Rho chapter of Epsilon Sigma Alpha, whose members volunteered at the event.
St. Jude provides materials for a week of learning and fun activities, teaching children trike and riding-toy safety.
Patterson and Harp extend a warm “thank you” to community supporters who helped make the event a success.
