St Jude's Trike a Thon

This week we have been preparing for our St. Jude's trike a thon that I am hosting with a friend through our local mom's club.  The trike a thon fundraising program teaches young children about bike safety. We have had a lot of fun this week with the lesson plan.   

Each day we read one bike safety rule and colored the corresponding page in the coloring book.  

Bam wanted to see the lesson plan book while coloring so he could use the correct color for each object on the page.  Bob was just excited to be coloring.  

Once we had gone through the 4 lesson plans, we played the game.  

Before the bikes raced around the park, I had a local police officer come to re-enforce the bike safety rules.  All the kids loved having the police there.  

I really like this event and was impressed with St. Jude's program and attitude toward the fundraising aspect of the event.  Each child who raised $35 will receive a t-shirt.  I hope that we can do this event again next year.
