Laser Tag Fundraising Event to Benefit St. Jude's

Utica, NY - Rebecca Jones’ elementary-school-age children Max, Sally and Cooper love to sell rubber band bracelets, their artwork, lemonade, even Halloween candy to support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, in memory of their brother, Sam. Their efforts to support St. Jude led to the creation of a special kids’ oriented Laser Tag event held on Feb. 27 at Zap Zone Fun Center in Utica. “They are very aware of what I do when we do fundraisers, especially ones they can’t come to like the golf outing and stuff like that,” Jones said. “We had a bowling fundraiser one year, but we needed to do a kids’ one because they really are starting to understand it now.”  www.fundraising-ideas.org
