CHILD-CARE CENTERS RAISE MONEY FOR MDA

Youngsters at several Roanoke Valley child-care centers recently raised money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association of Southwest and Central Virginia.

Children at First Union Child Development Center each hopped for two minutes and raised more than $700.

Participants from Raleigh Court Presbyterian preschool raised $722. Lauren Kelley was the top fund-raiser, collecting $161 for the MDA.

Children at 13 YMCA Magic Place Daycare Centers hopped, crawled or did jumping jacks and raised a combined total of $1,348 for the association. Lindsey Clark was the top fund-raiser. Hopping for the Monterey Elementary School Magic Place, she raised $291.

All proceeds from the event will be used to sponsor monthly clinics, summer camps and other patient services for local MDA families.
