Little tike rides his trike for fundraiser

All Max Barbare can talk about is how his aunt, Lori Downey, pushed him around on his tricycle during the St. Jude’s Trike-a-Thon Friday, Oct. 9, at Sarasota Christian Church.

The Trike-a-Thon is a fun, weeklong curriculum and fundraising program for daycare centers and pre-schools that teaches children safety lessons through interactive stories. Max, who attends Kids Day Out preschool, raised $120 for St. Jude’s. His class raised more than $1,000.
