Pint-size pedalers raise $4.7K


First Baptist Church (FBC) Preschool students were treated to a pizza party last week after the youngsters — some of whom pedaled trikes or bikes, along with some who pushed and coasted on scooters, and some who were pulled in wagons — raised $4,751.42 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital during their April 12 Trike-A-Thon. Prior to the party, the top four fundraisers were presented with gifts, including two gifts for the one who raised the most.
