St. Jude Trike-A-Thon !



GUESS WHAT!

Izelle is starting her fist ever fundraiser for her school.

She's not going to be selling any candy but she will be participating in a kids tricycle marathon.

What they do is get people to donate and sponsor them as they ride their trikes with their fellow classmates. I  highly doubt if it matters which kid come in first place. But I'm sure that they all will have so much fun, that nap time will be a breeze.

Here is Izzy's fundraising page! I'm gonna email it to a few close friends and family and her father and I are going to link it  on our Facebook. All she needs is $35 to get a cool TrikeAThon tee shirt. Click for more to see what we wrote.






Dear Mom & Dad's Facebook Friends & Family,Hello! My name is Izelle, & I am a Caterpiller (2 yr old Preschool Class) at Minnieland Academy


I started Preschool April 14th, 2015. It has been very hard transitioning to a new routine and not seeing my mom and dad as much as I use to, but I'm getting better and crying less in the mornings. I've even stopped crying a lot during the day, so my mom stopped calling the school every hour to check up on me. 
I made two really nice friends. A boy name Ethan, who is a Butterfly (3-4 yr old Preschool Class), & he likes to cheer me up when I'm sad because I miss my mommy & daddy. And a girl name Cally, who is also a Caterpiller, and she likes to draw and color with me. Today we learned that we are participating in our school's St. Jude Trike-A-Thon to help St. Jude save children and help the families of sick children afford care and research expenses. After being admitted into the hospital a few months ago with a respirtory infection, my Mom & Dad wanted others to be able to donate to help sick kids too.  



On May 8, 2015 from 9:00 - 11:00 AM, we will be holding our "Muffins For Mom" Event in honor of Mother's Day, where my friends and I will also ride our Tricycle for the Trike-A-Thon in the Church Parking Lot Track from 9:30-10:00 AM

I need your support to help me reach my fundraising goal for the kids of St. Jude. Please sponser me and donate in my Name. My goal is to reach $35. Students who reach $35 will recieve a St. Jude Trike-A-Thon 2015 TShirt. As a thank you gift in return, I promise my Mom & Dad will be there to take lots of pictures to show you.
 
How your donation helps:
  • Thanks to donors like you, no family ever pays St. Jude for anything, including lodging, food and travel.
  • St. Jude will continue to improve treatment of childhood cancer and other deadly diseases through it's groundbreaking research.
  • For every child treated at St. Jude, thousands more have been saved worldwide through St. Jude discoveries.
(There is a minimum of $5 to donate online. To enter a different dollar amount click "other" option) 


Thank you for reading even if you do not choose to donate.
