Are you in Southern California? Join us for the first Gwendolyn Strong Foundation Trike-A-Thon. That's right, a Trike-A-Thon. How fun is this? My super awesome and creative friends, Theresa and Adri (whom I've known since riding a trike myself), have organized this fun family event and we love it!
A trike-a-thon is simple: In a 10 minute time period, young children will cycle their way around a “track”, collecting pledges for each lap they make, and be cheered on for each little peddle they can muster! Adorable!!! There will be music, goodies, and fun for everyone. And there is also a “Trike Decorating Contest” with Gwendolyn selecting the winner! This is a super positive fun day for young children and their families! And we are so excited about it!!!
Details –>
Who: All trike-aged children and their families
When: Saturday, October 23rd, 11 pm to 2 pm
Where: Carl's Jr., 1400 Foothill Blvd., La Verne, California
Pledges: Attached is a sign up sheet for the children to present to their sponsors. Pledges from sponsors can be made in the amount of $1, $5, $10 or more per lap or a flat amount can be donated regardless of how many laps completed. Please bring the sponsor form with the collected pledges to the event and turn in all additional collected pledges no later than one week after the event. *ALL donations are tax deductible and can be made out to the Gwendolyn Strong Foundation.
Requirements: Please bring your own (decorated) tricycle or big wheel. If you don't have one, let Theresa know and she will help locate one for your child. Safety is a top priority, so please no two-wheelers, even with training wheels.
Over twenty children have already signed up and are busy collecting pledges. If you would like to join the fun or would like more details, please contact Theresa Portugal or Adri Benson. We encourage all parents, grandparents, and friends to come cheer the children on. This is an exciting event for them and spectators make it all the more fun! And please help spread the word to other families.
Together we can End SMA!!!
