Kids Day is Tuesday, March 8
Kids Day is one of the Valley’s largest and most visible special events to benefit Children’s Hospital Central California. Thousands of volunteers throughout the valley help by selling a special “Kids Day” edition of the Fresno Bee for $1. Last year, more than 1,000 Fresno State students, faculty, and staff helped to do their part by raising over $29,000. Since its beginning, Kids Day has raised more than $2 million for Children's Hospital Central California.
Faculty, Students and Staff can help in three ways: (1) volunteer to sell papers, (2) help recruit other volunteers by sharing information on this event with friends, students and colleagues and (3) buy the papers from those around campus.
For more information and to register to participate please contact Renee Delport in the Jan and Bud Richter Center for Community Engagement and Service-Learning at 278-7063 or email rdelport@csufresno.edu.
