2008 Candlelighters Fun Day
2008 Candlelighters Fun Day
The Third Annual Candlelighters Fun Day is now in the books, and what a wonderful day it was. About twenty great kids who are currently fighting cancer, and their families, came out to the Rogue Federal Credit Union in Medford on Saturday June 7th for a day of fun for the kids. Every kid that wanted to, could get a ride in whichever one of our Corvettes that struck his fancy. Most rode in multiple cars, and everyone had a huge smile on their face. Almost as big as the smiles on our faces in giving them rides.
There were "Goodie Bags" for each child, snow cones, hotdogs, games and fun. We also had a "mini car show". Our friends from the Southern Oregon Muscle Car Club and Jefferson State Street Rods, brought some of their great looking cars out for the kids to enjoy. The kids voted for their favorite, and the proud owners got a "Best In Show" trophy presented to them by the kids.
In addition, thanks to the great support of the wonderful merchants of the Rogue Valley, and the terrific soliciting efforts of Sharon & Elizabeth, we were able to hold a raffle for gift certificates for meals, car services, and other super prizes. The proceeds from the raffle, over $1,000 were presented to Michelle Morton, the Southern Oregon Chair Of Candlelighters, to help support their great work.
