FUNDRAISING EVENT TO TAKE PLACE NOW THROUGH AUGUST 7
EDINA, MINN – [June 30, 2021] –Pinky Swear Foundation and Hy-Vee, Inc. are teaming up this summer to help kids with cancer with a NEW Kids Helping Kids Challenge with a goal of raising $50,000. In 2020, the annual Kids’ Triathlon went fully virtual, following health protocols created due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The triathlon raised more than $62,000 for kids with cancer and their families. Pinky Swear Foundation, Hy-Vee, Inc. and Hy-Vee KidsFit are looking to raise support now through August 1 for these All-Stars and their families during this year’s initiative.
“Pinky Swear Foundation was built on the passion of kids helping kids,” said Erica Campbell, Pinky Swear Foundation’s executive director. “We are so grateful for our partnership with Hy-Vee, Inc. and their KidsFit program to motivate and encourage kids of all ages to support their community and make a difference for kids with cancer.”
