Trike-a-thon for a great cause
Photos and story by Monty Siekerman
The ONU Child Development Center held a trike-a-thon Tuesday to raise money for BOOTS for Bulldogs, a door security system to be installed at the Ada Schools.
These future Bulldogs, and their parents donated, $320 to sponsor a door. The youngsters rode their trikes through a colorful maze of tunnels, bridges, and gates.
Directing the kiddies maneuvering crisscross paths was like trying to herd cats, but the little ones had fun while raising money for a good cause. The CDC staff was assisted by university students involved in the honors orientation program.
June Zimmerman has directed the Child Development Center for nine years. Hillary Buxton is mom to one of the riders and is one of three mothers who organized and directs the BOOTS for Bulldogs project.
The BOOTS campaign has raised $18,805.40 to date.
