Walnut Street Daycare in Genoa held its seventh annual Trike-A-Thon on Sept. 24 to raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Children ages 6 weeks to 5 years old rode tricycles and bicycles around the parking lot for about 45 minutes. With help from parents, the school raised $8,007, the highest amount in a single year. In the seven-year history of the event, the school has raised more than $35,000 for St. Jude. A local police officer spoke to the children about bicycle safety before the event. This year’s top fundraisers were Audrey and Liam Gerl, who began fundraising with lemonade stands early in the summer to collect funds for the Trike-A-Thon. Together they raised $2,080.
