Preschoolers ride to help others

Children at The Learning Experience in Clarkston raised $2,503 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital at its annual Trike-A-Thon, May 14.
Families were invited to come out and support a worthy cause during the four-hour event, while learning about child safety as demonstrated by fire and police departments. Children rode their tricycles, scooters and bicycles in a secured lot.
Additionally, children were given pledge cards during the weeks leading up to the event. Families worked with their child to collect pledges, which were also collected and donated to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
Through donations from the community at the annual event, the center has raised close to $15,000 for St. Jude since starting the Trike-A-Thon in 2010. For more information, visit www.thelearningexperience.com.
