With another weekend of beautiful weather forecasted, there’s no excuse not to get outside and enjoy it. Why not help out the community while you’re at it? There are two great opportunities this weekend to help raise money for kids suffering with cancer and living with diabetes.
On Friday, September 10, four bands will perform on the patio outside Daily Grind Coffee House & Cafe in the Promenade Shops, across from Short Pump Town Center, to raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
Featured acts include Rod & Elana Hymer, Jimmy Catlett, Mark Slomski and Mystr Treefrog. The event is free, but collection cans will be placed on tables to raise money for the Foundation and their Walk To Cure Diabetes event. The first act begins at 6:30 p.m. and music runs through 9:00 p.m. More information can be found on the Daily Grind website.
On Saturday, September 11, Cookies for Kids’ Cancer, a nationwide nonprofit created by a former Richmond resident, will hold what they’re calling “Richmond’s Biggest Bake Sale.” Volunteers will sell cookies at the Short Pump Walmart at Broad and Pouncey Tract from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Six Carytown retailers and two Midlothian businesses are also participating. Through local bake sales across the country, Cookies for Kids’ Cancer provides support for individuals, communities and businesses to help fight pediatric cancer. In recognition of Pediatric Cancer Month, all money raised during Richmond’s bake sales will be doubled through a matching grant by Glad Products. More information is available on the Cookies For Kids’ Cancer website.
