Soddy-Daisy Christmas for the Kids |
|
All year the Soddy-Daisy Firefighters Association and local businesses, have worked to collect funds to give children in the Soddy-Daisy area a Christmas to remember. The funds came not only from donations, but also from the motorcycle ride "Love Run for the Kids", that was the Saturday before Thanksgiving. The kick-off for the year began with the annual yard sale which was Saturday, October 25, 2008. 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 visited Wal-Mart the Wednesday before Thanksgiving or the Friday after Thanksgiving, I'm sure to said hello to the volunteer firefighters as they collected money for our kids. The Christmas Parade participants also got into the act, as the money they paid to be in the parade also helped 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" this year and many years to come. |

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. |
