Preschoolers pedal to donate money to St. Jude

The First United Methodist Church preschool classes held their fifth-annual Trike-a-thon on Thursday.

Family members and neighbors sponsor the 4- and 5-year-olds, said teacher Brittany Pieper, and the money raised is donated to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Thursday marked the fifth annual event, which raises an average of $2,000 a year for pediatric cancer research.
