Soddy Daisy Christmas for the Kids

Soddy-Daisy Christmas for the Kids |
|
All year the Soddy-Daisy Firefighters Association and local businesses, work to collect funds to give children in the Soddy-Daisy area a Christmas they would not have without this funding. The funds come not only from donations, but also from the motorcycle ride "Love Run for the Kids", that is the Saturday before Thanksgiving. The kick-off for the year begins with the annual yard sale which is usually the 3rd or 4th Saturday in October. If you happen to visit one of the local businesses and see a firefighters' boot on the counter, drop your coins in there, it goes to a great cause. If you visit Wal-Mart or Bi-Lo the Wednesday before Thanksgiving or the Friday after Thanksgiving, be sure to say hello to the volunteer firefighters as they collect money for our kids. The Christmas Parade participants also get into the act, as the money they pay to be in the parade also helps the fund. This is a year long event that we love and with your help and the help of the community, a lot more kids will benefit and have a "Christmas to Remember". |

Visit one of the local businesses that display a firefighters' boot on the counter. Thanks to their support and the community's support, our kids have a few more items under the Christmas tree each year. |
